Update on Gene, Tuesday Nov. 18

According to Gene, it has been difficult for him to communicate with the forum and others due to most of his gear at home. I guess he has his phone, but that's it.
 
So sad to hear this news.

Someone mentioned having someone interview Gene. I think that is a great idea.

Reading between the lines, sooner rather than later is likely best. Wish I didn't feel I have to say that but theses things can move fast.

Agreed, but it takes vigilance and some nerdy work to administer most any website with a forum. However, if the member’s forum was temporarily disabled and various fair minded guest hosts without a cohost were able to provide an hour and a half show twice a month, folks may stick around until Gene was able to carry on. I remember when Decker among other talk show hosts would field calls from various listeners who would have questions for either Decker or one of his guests.

Over so many years and up until just recently The Paracast has provided a weekly show without fail, and if not mistaken Gene’s extended setback can possibly be attributed to simply walking a dog.

Why couldn’t it have been something more exhilarating like bungee jumping, or sky diving?

This really sucks …

It first came to light while walking Teddy Bear. But it was due to those nasty bacterial infections. I’m still taking intravenous antibiotics and coughing after a couple of bouts with pneumonia.

Ahh… that’s it, the infection. In 22’ there were several days that I lived in a hospital room with an IV plugged into the arm due to a serious infection. Multiple weeks must be a brutal stay. Just imagine the folks without any type of medical insurance, and what they would end up paying. Needless to say, you must be of the hardiest of breeds.

It’s 19 years of work. I’m not giving it away.

To me, the value of The Paracast has nothing to do with what it would sell for. IMO it's a priceless piece of cultural history that should be preserved and made freely available to everyone. That said, a person can't be blamed for wanting to get paid for their work either. Ideally — maybe both things can happen.
