Message:: [QUOTE="Nathan B., post: 8107836, member: 112852"][ATTACH=full]1410480[/ATTACH] [USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER], I am very saddened to read your news.  BUT, I am encouraged by the spirit with which you are approaching your battle with cancer.  A positive attitude is absolutely key for everyone in this situation, and it sounds like you have such positivity. Speaking of positivity, thank you for all the mentoring and assisting you do here on the forum boards, and by email as well--I know I have asked you quite a few questions in the past! Finally, I remember some time ago you wrote that you were collecting coins with Pan on them.  You may recognize the coin above--part of a lot I won at AMCC 3.  Despite your situation, you were still able to take beautiful pictures of this coin, package it as part of a lot, and sell that lot along with some hundreds of others as part of the auction.  That took enormous courage, dedication, and vision, and I believe that these qualities will stand you and your family in good stead as you fight your cancer.  So this is my tribute to you, if you will.  I also hope that you find encouragement in seeing the enduring power of this small bronze coin with its graceful portrait of Pan erecting a trophy.  I wish you that same grace, endurance, and triumph.[/QUOTE]
