Allan Taylor -- good news

[ROOD DAVID S]

Many, if not most of you, know that Allan Taylor was diagnosed with
bladder cancer a couple of months ago.  He called me last night with some
good news: he has just undergone an operation that took out the part of
the bladder that was involved (it's a much longer story than that, but
that's the important part), and it tested negative for cancer cells, as
did the lymph nodes nearby.  They'll continue to monitor him, of course,
but for right now it looks like he caught it early and the prognosis is
very good.  Naturally, he's very happy.  He'll be recovering at home for a
while yet.
