Reply to: Loss of a great sailing advocate in Texas

Message body

[quote=DamonLinkous]Oh, I hate to hear that. I never met David and sorry to say I haven't been in contact with him for some time, but in the earlier days of TheBeachcats.com and SailingTexas.com we used to exchange emails often and spoke by phone several times, comparing notes on website issues and talking about sailing.

I know that David spent an incredible amount of his time working on his website  [url=http://www.sailingtexas.com]http://www.sailingtexas.com[/url] and helping fellow sailors.

He was a special guy, he was only diagnosed last May 2009 with brain and lung cancer and managed to completely document his fight over the next ten months right on his website. Pictures, xrays, hospital videos and all! Even closeup pictures of the 34 staples that put his skull back together after brain surgery last May. He did it hoping to help someone else in the future by showing the treatments that are possible these days.

If anyone is in contact with Alison, please let her know that I would be glad to help her with any web related stuff that comes up while she is coping with everything. I'll send an email but I'm sure she is covered up with them.

RIP David Luckenbach[/quote]
