Just would like to let every one know, that this could be my final post on PA. I got the results back from my CT SCAN yesterday, confirming that I have Cerebellar Ataxia. Over time, I will or can, loose most of my motor skills. Walking, driving, able to stand up with out falling and on and on. No way to tell how soon, or how bad it can get, that is out of the doctors and my control. There is no cure, as of now, so it is what it is.
I spend more time trying to correct spelling on my post, that I used to typing it. My eye sight will not let me read very good so all this will eventually come to a close.
I just want to say to every one a huge thank you for being part of my life, and sharing what we all love to do. Unfortunately, my time has all but come to a close as far as being able to do anything archery related, hunting, fishing and just about any thing actually.
I will never forget what some of you have done for me, and cherished every minute that I had a chance to share time with you.. Some I have never met, and never will, but again I thank you for the most wonderful ride I could have ever taken.
My one goal in life way to make it to a classic. I made two of them. and can recall almost every minute of those trips. So wonderful to share with all of you.
So if you don't see me around, just know you all are still in my thoughts and will ever be so.

Prayers being sent for you...

Makes me want to cry and us old Indians never cry! Lost one of my boyhood friends today and my brother is in really bad shape. Hard not to wonder about the fairness of life? You have my prayers and I will get my pipe out for a hopeful blessing for you! Joe

Charlie,
Still really new to the forum but with the respect and admiration of so many that speaks to your true character.
You have helped me today to step back and look at what I take for granted. I can't imagine what you are going through, but know that you have prayers coming your way from South East MI.
-
Wish I could have shot with you at the Classic Charlie. Remember the good times.

Sorry to hear about your condition, you'll be in my prayers. I've enjoyed your posts on here as well.

Someone was questioning the fairness of life. Well, it just ain't.
It ain't fair that we got to know you and the much of the rest of the world didn't.
