September 29, 201510 yr Without getting into too much personal info, i ask everyone to say a prayer (or whatever your equivilent is) for Townie. He is undergoing a fairly serious, life-changing surgury today. He is a great person and a great person.
September 29, 201510 yr Active Members He has my best wishes. I have always liked Townsend's posts and respect him as a poster. Thank you for giving us a heads up.
September 29, 201510 yr Active Members Sending my prayers and positive thoughts as well. Please keep us posted.
September 29, 201510 yr Thanks for bringing this to our attention. He is a great guy and a lovely person. I hope all goes well and he recovers quickly.
September 29, 201510 yr Lurker messaged me today and I was shocked. We first met at a "Hooboy dinner" in Weho at Numbers in 2002 and have been friends ever since.I just saw Townie three weeks ago before I left for Brazil, we were down in Long Beach for a BBQ festival. He's a great guy and is in my thoughts today. I will check on him tomorrow at the hospital, and hopefully we will have good news!
September 30, 201510 yr Active Members Sending out positive thoughts and prayers for Townie. Always enjoy his participation.
September 30, 201510 yr Active Members Keeping my one finger crossed and hoping for the best. I've always enjoyed his posts.
September 30, 201510 yr I spoke to Townie tonight, he is feeling a little better, it is serious but there is some potential positive things happening.
September 30, 201510 yr Active Members I spoke to Townie tonight, he is feeling a little better, it is serious but there is some potential positive things happening. That's very encouraging. I lived in SoCal for many years but never made it to any gatherings. My loss.
September 30, 201510 yr My best wishes to Townie. I have not seen him for a couple of years, and hope all will be well.
October 1, 201510 yr Active Members He is very much in my thoughts and prayers, Hoping all will turn out well.
October 1, 201510 yr Active Members Adding my best wishes for a full recovery. Thanks to those who are keeping in touch.
October 3, 201510 yr I spoke to Townie today, and while "not out of the woods", there is cautious optimism that he will get back to good health.
October 3, 201510 yr Active Members I also wish to send my best wishes to Townie (or BGP as I still think of him), hope he's better soon and we can all do another WeHo dinner sometime soon! I've been dealing with a family medical emergency myself though and am likely to be out of town for the the next several weeks, but hopefully we all come out on the other side!
October 18, 201510 yr Active Members Popular Post I thank all of you for your kindness and good wishes. I have been very bad about attending to my health needs and I have now paid a serious price. I have suspected for years that I was probably diabetic but did nothing about it till I almost died a month ago because of a MERSA infection and complications from my Diabetes. I have now been in Hospital for over a month. Part of my foot has been removed. I will have to be super vigilante about my diet and my health for the rest of my life. I will also be dealing with bills and financial hardship for some time. Not fun but at least I am alive.

Stay strong and be vigilante. I hope that things do get better for you. All the best.
October 18, 201510 yr I am glad to see you posting here again, Townie. I didn't want to say too much about your situation without your permission. I figured when you were ready, we would see you here again. I can't wait until you get back on your feet (no pun intended) and hope you will be able to make it here to Phoenix for our Pride event next April.
October 19, 201510 yr Active Members Sad to hear about your problems Townie. Take good care of yourself and get well soon.
October 25, 201510 yr Active Members Back home after a long stay in hospital, Home is a challenge but I am doing alright.
