Wes,

I wish you full recovery and hope that God willing you can continue to enjoy your road of discovery and sharing. I have enjoyed your words and thoughts on a variety of subjects and I look forward to hearing more from you. Having said that, please put yourself above your many causes for now, and for as long as it takes to beat this thing.

Dear Mr. Elsberry, Thank you for sharing your “blog” with me. Writings like yours help health care workers remember their patient is not a rooom number or the “chrohn’s guy”. I enjoyed the ppicutres of the Hawk Walk. In the first picture with the bird’s perched on your backpack frame the little critters seem to be saying, “Hey, could you move it a little faster along here?” Take care. I hope your experience with us has not been too bad (Iknow you’d rather not repeat it!!).

Thank you for keeping up this weblog, you’re amazing! I’m optimistic for you. Glad you felt relief by using the NG tube and hope it won’t be necessary too much longer.

Hi Wes,
Thanks for starting this blog. I had no idea how serious your condition has been. As Ed said, you are a very special person. And although we have never met or even communicated much I consider you one of the ‘guiding lights’ in the evolution debate. Your responses, well stated and well researched, have always inspired me and I am looking forward to your news ideas being put into practice.
