Deepest condolences to the Dvorak's, Curry's, all who have been touched by JCD. My keeper and I were traveling, and we had stopped at the world's largest truck stop in Iowa along Route 180. We had just sat down for some lunch when I saw the announcement newsletter. Like many others, I was in disbelief. This isn't April. Reading it again, and my keeper could tell something was wrong, I handed her my phone who was also very saddened after reading the news. Since we were traveling for a few days, I wouldn't be able to send a proper note or donation. The added delay gave me the time needed to process and reflect. I don't know when exactly I discovered JCD, but I'm pretty sure it was when he was a guest on Twit. Early in my marriage, my keeper had worked training in the San Francisco area. I gleefully tagged along. It was during this time I frequently watched, listened to Twit. They would meet at various venues to record the show. I guess this could have been the original meetups. I was able to be part of the audience on two recordings in two different venues. Leo Laporte, Kevin Rose, others I don't recall, and, of course, John C. Dvorak. JCD was new to me at the time and didn't know all of his vast history like I do now. At first, I wasn't much of a fan of JCD. However, the more he popped up on Twit and later listened to No Agenda, the more I appreciated his direct no nonsense delivery. His stories from past experiences always had my attention as well as his many tips. He even used a tip suggestion I sent him called drop stop that goes between your front car seat and console. Several times after this, I tried to feed him with more tips, but nothing stuck. One of the tips I sent, he said, this isn't a tip. This is a product promotion. One last thing I'd like to share about John is his mentioning of giving a short sentence review of products like a book, for example, couldn't put it down or a real page turner. I just so happen to own a game for the Apple two GS called Crystal Quest. On the front of the box is a sticker with a few more of those one liners. Our very own JCD has a comment, hottest game in town. I've often thought about sending him this box with donation, of course, and see if he would sign it for me. Another part of me thought, it may fall into the depths of his studio to never be found again. It's never good timing when a loved one leaves us. However, John's sequence of events seems appropriate. One, give everyone a scare with a major surgery. Two, needed passwords digital things are realized. Three, John is recovering. We need a promotion. RedKnight, Order of the Heart. Four, time passes and crossing his per usual. Five, evening of the final event. John calls to his soul mate, spend a few more minutes together, then silently exits. My continual prayers to the Dvorak's and Curry's that our heavenly father will carry you through this valley and give you the strength for the next chapter. John truly was a national treasure, Red Knight, Sir Brendan, FEMA region eight.
