Yes you read that right. Bill Dog is alive and well. We have been in touch and he asked that I pass along his best wishes to GoPam and the rest of the Cannonballers. Fun travels and adventures to you all!

Cheers,

Bill Dog

You never know what to think when one of the pillars of MV goes radio silent. I’m very pleased to know Billdog is among us and paying attention to the heroics. He is one of the overachievers among us.

It’s like if Chuck Yeager ran the fastest 100m at the Olympics.

I was half dead for months but his presence has been missed. Even though I am not a cannonballer.

He had a way of picking on topics. Like, way overboard.
Though there are some times I miss his banter.
He has an interesting way with words.
Glad to hear he's doing OK.

Bill Dog battle with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia continues and the medication may well have impaired his judgement which is probably why he was removed from the forum as it has a tendency to create a mental fog. This resulted in him not being very good at listening to warnings about his conduct or anyone else come to that.

Without doubt Bill is a very nice man. His battle and the drugs he has to take do mess with your mind and I'm quite sure his behaviour was considerably affected by them. Regrettably it didn't stop me from having to block his email address. But I did and still do wish him well for the future. I have other friends that suffer the same illness Bill has and they suffer mental fog, paranoia and depression. But the good news is they all seem to be ticking along ok and have done so for many years.

Best wishes to Bill.
