Curt, we're going to miss you here. I loved how you gave the wingnuts hell here and hope you will continue to do so on the other side.

Funny to see this - I was just asking Maidy about Curt today.

She said she would call in the next day or so and check in.

I've been thinking of Curt every day, but had not dared to ask.

Edit: There's nothing on the Southeast Climbers' Coalition website.

Same here, Anders. I sincerely hope he's at peace now. I know how tough he is but to still be fighting more than a week later is beyond the call.

Condolences to his family and close friends if he has passed. I sent peony seeds to him once and his mother sent me a nice thank you card. How tough this battle must be for her. God bless.

I've been thinking about him too. I hope things are okay for him. I'm pretty much with Nature on this, I would love to think of Brutus, Bachar, Craig and Curt bouldering in the clouds while Midnight and Summit wag their tails and sniff each others butts. Alas, I just don't think that's how it works... that's okay, too.

I wish I had better news but Curt's condition continues to deteriorate. Tom Dawson, his lifelong friend said they do not see how he can last much longer, although with Curt's willpower he could hang on for a number of days.

Last weekend he received a phone call from, his friend, the famous guitar maker John Gilbert. However, now he can barely speak and is too weak to hold the phone or feed himself. He complains of being hungry but seldom eats more than three or four bites.

He won't allow his folks to open his mail from well wishers and read the contents to him. That is so Curt.

He is sleeping most of the time but wakes occasionally and seems to recognize family and friends. He had a better day Thursday and ate more than usual and took a fairly good quantity of liquids.

His dad says he is very fragile and could go at any time. Sorry to be the person posting this, but his family believes his friends are entitled to know the truth.

Thanks Jennie. Been wondering.
Curt if you get to catch any of this - I thought about you when I made a run through Foster falls and Sunset last week. Sure could have used your help getting a cam unstuck. It's fixed now. I know, I suck. I don't know if I told you this but I sent your music link to a sick friend who plays classical/folk guitar and told her what you wrote me about people not realizing that the greatest gratification in life comes in the service or others. It really helped motivate her to start playing and recording again. You have touched many lives my friend. God bless you.

I never met Curt, but thanks to this thread I read some of his posts like the thread on screwing the second. I laughed so hard tears were streaming down my face. he sure has a great sense of humor. I'm so very sorry that he is suffering so much.

I'm headed over this morning for what is likely the last visit. I talked to his mom yesterday afternoon and she felt like he would make it until today. They are bringing in family. Sorry to be out of touch on this but I've been up to my neck in my own reality for the past few weeks. I'll convey everyone's best wishes this morning.
