An update on an old friend
Two years ago, we posted a note about Peter Marks - a Bungie fan from the old days who became a Bungie employee (and later a Certain Affinity employee), and who was diagnosed with some pretty agressive cancer. We set up a website where folks could leave a few words for Peter - and 4500 of you did. The good news: Peter has been fighting these past two years - he's still with us. The bad news: things don't look so good for him. The latest round of surgery (on his spine) was undertaken to remove pressure that was causing him to lose control of his legs, and it's unclear if he's going to recover enough to go home from this. His wife has suggested that this might be the last chance folks have to talk to Peter; if you want to get in touch with him, you can drop a note on the Marksism website, or you can contact us directly; it's unclear right now whether he's up for phone calls or visits, but if we get the word, we'll pass it along to those who need it. It's always hard to say goodbye - Peter, we love you. (Louis Wu 19:42:59 UTC)
