&gt; Hello FreeSWITCH Community,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; We wanted to let everyone know that Brian West is in St. Francis Hospital,<br>
&gt; Tulsa, OK. He is checked into room 4325. At this point it looks like he will<br>
&gt; be there for at least a week.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I think it&#39;s safe to say that Brian is a dynamo not just for FreeSWITCH but<br>
&gt; for open source VoIP and telephony. My guess is that there&#39;s not a person<br>
&gt; who&#39;s worked with Asterisk or FreeSWITCH in the past 10 years who hasn&#39;t<br>
&gt; been aided in one way or another by Brian. Personally I can say that in the<br>
&gt; past five years Brian has helped me immeasurably. I think I have literally<br>
&gt; asked him thousands of questions and he has patiently answered them all.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; We would like to have everyone keep Brian in their thoughts and prayers.<br>
&gt; Please feel free to send him cards and well wishes at the hospital. Also, if<br>
&gt; you wish to send gifts and such to his home address you may do so:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Brian West<br>
&gt; 714 Osage Ave<br>
&gt; McAlester, OK<br>
&gt; 74501-6638<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; For those who are interested in helping in more practical ways, such as<br>
&gt; helping to defray the considerable medical costs that no doubt will be<br>
&gt; incurred, we will have more information shortly.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Please spread the word via Facebook, Twitter, and any other medium you have.<br>
&gt; Let&#39;s all let Brian know just how much we value him as a colleague and<br>
&gt; friend!<br>
&gt;<br>
