Welcome to my guest book Archive.


This archive contains guestbook entries from October 2007 until February 27th 2007.  At that time my web hosting company changed the guest book software that they use. This older version of the guest book is no longer accepting new entries.However, you can still leave me a message in the new guestbook if you would like to.

Hi Kelvin, came across your website after idly looking at the Hursley site (which I do every 2 years or so!). Really pleased to read about your very successful career, but saddened to read about your illness. All the very best with the treatment. I have a bit of arthritis in my thumbs now and wonder whether this is due to keeping wicket to your bouncers!!?

It was great to finally talk to you on the phone the other day, and wonderful to hear you sounding so engaged, alert and with it (though I don't doubt that flags a bit in chemo weeks.) Anyway, we're still all thinking of you, hoping that the rest of the treatments aren't too bad, and that you'll soon be back to full strength! Noah

Don't wanna celebrate on Friday? I suppose it’s not a “whoop it up” moment but I for one read this Guestbook and see a bunch of folks that are glad to take pause with a “Hip-Hip-Hooray” that you are around to mark the date’s passing. From my favorite countryman of yours: “We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.”

Hi Kelvin, That's good news that the oncologist is so encouraged. Hope you're feeling better now after this last chemo. I trust the new MAC helps take your mind off some of the more mundane details of the treatment. From your MAC bigot friend :)

Hi Kelvin, Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you as you go in for another round of chemo today. I'm so glad you were able to enjoy Christmas with Lorna and the kids with some of your old energy. Also glad you like the MAC, I knew you would :) Let us know how you are feeling after today - I hope that this one is easier than the first two treatments.

Hi, Kelvin! Kelly Andrew gave me the link to your blog and I thought it might be nice to see what you've been up to. I'm very sorry to hear about the cancer, but pleased you seem to be tolerating the chemo. Your two children are beautiful! I'm glad you've found a home in Austin and wish all the best for you during this time.

Kelvin, Lorna, Robyn and Jack, Our thoughts and prayers are with you, especially at Christmas. Remember that to keep up your strength, you get to eat whatever you want. And given that your Hallowe'en candy is probably long gone, this means you get to eat ALL of the plum pudding with hard sauce.

Hi Kelvin, Hi Lorna - I'm glad you are going ahead with the chemo. I have two relatives going through this and their biggest complaint is fatigue. Nausea and hair loss are minimal - not like the old days - and they have very good drugs for nausea now. So just take it easy and don't overdo, okay?

Hi All! Kelvin and I went to see his surgeon today for a check up. The surgeon said that he is healing well, but can't resume his normal activities until Dec.7 (6 weeks post surgery) and then only if he's up to them. We meet with the oncologist tomorrow. So we'll know about chemo then.

In the midst of all of Kelvin's issues, Robyn's soccer team finished first of the Round Rock teams and today went to a regional tournament. These girls did an awesome job, considering they were only together one season. All of the games were close. During the last game, the heavens opened up and the rain soaked everyone. Kelvin really enjoyed watching our daughter play in goal!

Lorna, Thanks again for keeping us all posted. It is good to hear that he got out to the kids soccer games, but it sounds like he over did it a bit. It is a fine line in the recovery process. Say hi to him from his friends on the Academy Technology Council.

Those of you who know Kelvin, know that he doesn't just sit and rest easily. He's starting to get annoyed that he can't resume normal activities yet. I have to remind him that he's only been out of the hospital a week and it's going to take time. He and I really appreciate all of the love and support from all of you. Thank you!!

Hi All! Kelvin continues his recovery. The day after he got home from the hospital, he went to the kids soccer games. He enjoyed getting out in the fresh air but was in quite a bit of pain later. The rest of the week, he hung out at home, took a few very short walks and tried to rest.
