[TheForge] new year to get on with living (long)

[PlumDon at aol.com]

Hello Terry;

Like many of us who have been following your  trials and tribulations over 
the last several years I am delighted to hear that  things are settling out. I 
don’t know if I would have had the courage and  strength to continue fighting 
both accidents. Your interest in sharing your  rewards is also highly laudable. 
What a splendid thing to be doing.  

I must say I found myself somewhat flabbergasted by the extent of  your 
ambitions re the ships. I am not familiar with your background but if you  have 
spent any significant time on a ship you must be well aware of the physical  
rigors it imposes. I recall seeing your x-rays that you posted and am amazed you  
are up for that level of exertion. I have no notion of the size of your  
settlement and perhaps you are simply assuming a management position.  
Nevertheless, I am sure it would require time aboard as well as significant  marine 
experience to make such ventures pay. As has been aptly said: The  quickest way to 
become a millionaire is to start with two million and a  boat. 

I thought you would be settling down to a life of greater  comfort and ease. 
Certainly not making tin cookie cutters but nothing so heavy  as this. In any 
case I, as I’m sure all on the site do, wish you the very best  of success in 
your ventures. I will look forward to hearing how these things go.  Perhaps 
now you will also be able to afford capital letters. Only kidding there,  Terry, 
as I’m sure that was necessitated by some of the injuries. 

Again, good luck and god speed. 

Don Plummer
