I don't even know what to say. Brian and I got to know each other through our love of the Aruba casinos, and expressing it frequently on the board. Brian went to all of the Northeast Chipper Gatherings and blew me away with the great chips he laid out on a table in front of him. He loves the downtown Las Vegas chips even more than the Aruba chips. We sent many Aruba chips back and forth without any thought to what they might be worth. I knew it wasn't a good sign when he went for surgery and didn't come back to the board. Especially when I wrote him and Fred to see how he was doing and heard nothing back. I knew it couldn't be good. Still, I will hope for a miracle. Keep fighting Brian!!
