I hope that we get some good news soon about Kib's progress.
I miss him and his posts a lot. And I find myself checking my grammar fairly carefully, lest he come back before I realize it and my posts get parsed. (May he and his musings and parsings return posthaste!)

I have checked another site periodically for news of him, however there hasn't been any on the thread that bears his name...I just bumped it, maybe we will see something today. As far as I know, he is not aware of this site |

Just checked in "over there" to see if your bump got an answer - and it did.....Kib back in Norwalk hospital for third time. Mrs. K. and Cheese Danish hope third time is the charm. He is watching the games from his hospital bed.

I just looked, and nada. Sorry! I keep hoping to hear good news about him! Your post reminded me that I hadn't spoken to him awhile so I called and talked to his wife... Kib is back home and working on getting stronger.... he won't be able to get the SC game on the 9th but plans on getting back to game going shape in the near future. His wife is a nurse and I can assure you that she is taking very good care of him... His daughter "CheeseDanish' is happily making sculpted copper roses at a furious pace for Valentines Day. Her company is www.darkmoonmetals.com Check it out... she's quite a talented young woman. AF |

Dear AF/OPB - could you find it in your heart to tell Kib about this new board, so when he is feeling better he might wander over here once in awhile, to the joy of those of us who miss him very much (and we miss Mrs. Kib and Cheese Danish also...)Thank you!!

I talked to Kib yesterday. He sounded weak but determined to get back into fighting shape. Pure Kib. His wife told me the day before that they wouldn't be able to make it to the SC game but yesterday Kib said the plan to attend was still a go... he's a tough ol' bird. I told him about this board and that he had become a beloved character to many here. He questioned the 'beloved' part(his sense of humor is fully intact).... He said that when he was stronger that he would try to get over here and do a little posting. He grew increasingly fatigued as we spoke and so I decided to get off of the phone before I gave him the UConn Territory address... I'll get it to him after he gets back on his feet. He plans on having his laptop moved into his room next week so look for him to post something on another site soon after. His body is weak but his spirit was strong.... knowing Kib, I'd put my money on his spirit to win this one big. Massey has the Pwin at 100%. AF |

Thank you so much, AF/OPB! I am pulling for the Kib, and sending prayers towards him and his family. Glad his humor is intact, but hope he knows how much we all do care about his tough old self!!

It seems that all he has gone through has really knocked the stuffing out of him, poor lamb. I think of him a lot, and will continue to do so. he's a tough guy. |

Hope for his return to form soon, many of his posts were quite entertaining.
I had an instance to chat by pm with him and found him quite responsive to the conversation.
In addition to the wide interest in women's basketball, part of the attraction of a UConn board is the fine characters that populate it!

I believe that many of you already know this but it's worthy of repeating... Kib has long been a force in the support of veterans.

I spoke with Kib a few days back...he still has a tough row to hoe but he is full-on working on mending his ol' paratrooper body. He watched the SCar game from home and it had to have had helped speed up his recovery. He said that he'll post as soon as he can. One tough ol' Sky Soldier.
