Topic: Strummerboy Bill

I have sent emails to Bill with no return. I don't want to pry into his personal life, but I was wondering how he's doing ( along with Dondra) 

Has anyone heard from him ? I have not seen a post in a while.

Re: Strummerboy Bill

I check out his blog once in awhile..... but his last posting on it was the 12th of the month.  Sounded a little down by my reading, but hopeful things will improve.  My guess is that Dondra is still having issues and Bill is doing best as can to stay supportive and keeping up with his daily "chores", which might not leave much free time for other activities.

We keep them in our prayers, and look forward to hearing from them when it is convenient on their end.

Re: Strummerboy Bill

I've been thinking of him and praying for Dondra's health.

Re: Strummerboy Bill

Those two certainly have been through the mill in the past year or so. My late grandfather used to tell me to always be thankful for good health, 'cuz without it nothing else matters. Bill's has brought a lot of joy to all of us at Chordie, and he'll be missed dearly until his return. Best wishes to both of them.

Re: Strummerboy Bill

Bill was here: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=171948

He seemed to be having issues staying signed in - but did manage to post.  So clearly he's still doing OK - in some form or another.  Hopefully he'll find some time to pop in and visit again soon.  In the meantime, Bill, if you're having issues and need technical help - don't hesitate to send me an email!  If you've forgotten, it's my username in the forums @gmail.com

Hope you and Dondra are well and you're keeping her smiling with lots of music therapy!

Re: Strummerboy Bill

I have just received an e-mail from Bill. They have just lost their cat and are devastated over that, he made no mention of health issues but said he would be back on Chordie s soon as he can.

Re: Strummerboy Bill

That's a darned shame. I hope their furry friend didn't suffer.

Re: Strummerboy Bill

Bill just sent me an email as well - good to hear from him .  Dondra is slowly recoperating - says she has " cabin fever" ! smile
Bill says he'll drop into Chordie soon as he can - but his attention is focused on the love of his life - and that is so special.
Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming for them both - he'll be back soon !
