I've received many inquires on our own Dietrich. I've held off partly waiting for permission from Dietrich to make this post and mostly I held off in hopes that there would be some tiny sliver of good news to share.
In the old story of I got some good news and some bad news I have no good news.
I'm heartbroken to report that it's absolutely all bad!
Forgive me Dietrich for running with this but I can't carry the burden of all this sadness and heartbreak by myself anymore. I'm plumb used up.
My hope is that you'll be so pissed you'll come west and give me a whipping which I surely deserve and quite honestly will enjoy immensely.
Dear Dietrich has Cancer, reports indicate that it has spread and it is inoperable. As many may recall it came on very fast. A slam dunk. Just suddenly down, lost his mojo. He had his first round of Chemo Therapy today in hopes for some relief and a reprieve from the inevitable. He reports his concentration is next to zero, lack of focus, doesn't even care about his guns and for folks like us you know that's a bad bad sign.
His reports have been infrequent and I asked (I begged) to have him tell his wife to send me updates and post. So far nothing from her. But I still have hope.
I went through this same scenario with my own dad 7 or 8 years ago and he did have a few days a week when the chemo wore off that he had good days, before they hit him again.
I'm sure with all the miriade of things going through his head he's overwelmed with things he wants to get done or accomplish but I know he really wanted to get on here and make his own post. That says alot for us here at Kahrtalk that we rank high enough in importance for him to want to do that just for us.
I don't know if that will happen. If he was to call and tell me taking a couple buckets of grease and getting launched over a prison fence nekkid would make him feel better, I'd be on the first plane to NC with a drum of grease and smile on my face and I don't care who knew about it.
That's all I know for right now. I sure hope he understands my need and desire to share this bad news with everyone here. Dietrich has been a rock here on kahrtalk with some of the most off the wall threads, sayings and general side splitting conversations. A tremendous asset. I know back in some of the ugly early days he's directly responsible for many of us still being here. Several of the early members, myself, Jocko, Wynn, several others got tired and left, he got tired and left several times too. He was always there to talk everyone into sticking around and of course we were all there to talk him into staying too. I'm sure glad we did.
I'll post any new news or reports I receive.
I hope we can all laugh at this as a sick joke 30 years from now when he gets the miracle cure. Now that would be a side splitter.
