This is the second notice on this... but I cannot find any Google
references to it. I would hate to have this turn out to be some sort of
hoax.

If anyone can substantiate it, please post.

Thanks,
Craig

Like Jim, Ibm
practically speechless at Ericbs sudden death.  
However, I was somewhat on
the scene (Nancy was staying with June & I over the past couple days) so Ibd
like to report what I know about it, 
before any rumours get flying.  This is
very sad indeed.  We will all 
miss Eric greatly. 


Several days ago Eric
took a fall while skiing with Nancy.  He was 
not seriously injured, but he
did go into the doctor to get checked out 
and they found an aneurysm on his
aorta.  The fall itself may have been 
incidental; the aneurysm was probably
there already, but Ibm not a 
doctor so canbt say for sure.  They flew him
down to Stanford after 
discovering the aneurysm.

He actually had been moved
out of ICU to a regular hospital room on 
Wednesday, he was feeling fine, and
they were even considering releasing him by Friday or Saturday.  An operation
(or two) may have been 
necessary, but they thought there was time.  Evidently
there wasnbt and 
maybe an operation wouldnbt have been successful.
In any
case, the aneurysm must have blown and that was the end.  
Nancy had talked to
him and he was feeling well and in good spirits just prior to that, so it was
very sudden.
I do know Eric had a very full and adventerous life and I count
myself lucky to have been his friend.

RIP, Eric.

John
