Craig Tyson Seriously Ill

Thursday, March 12th, 2009 | * Comments(3)

A key and exceptionally valued member of our small team, Craig Tyson of Australia, has had a major heart attack and is critical condition at the Gairdner Hospital in Perth. This is most distressing and unexpected, and our thoughts are with him and his family. As always, his spirits are upbeat, and his will to recover is indomitable.

Another key member is also suffering from a significant condition that developed in recent weeks, but asks that his name be kept private.

I’ll update this as conditions permit. —Lawrence Magne
