Happy Birthday TCRC!

[Vinny]

For those of you not on the TC-NET listserv, today is the 10th birthday of the Testicular Cancer Research Center (although they don't recall just exactly when the page was first put up, they've been counting visitors since October 26, 1996).

So, here's a hearty thanks to Doug Bank, Chris Brewer, and Nick O'Hara Smith for creating such a fantastic fountain of knowledge for us "newbies". I look forward to the day when I'll celebrate 5, 10, 15, 20 and 50 years of having been cured, and I will always be grateful that I had a place to go where I could play 20 questions and put myself (and the Rev) at ease.

Not that you guys here are any slouches, either! I love this community.

By the way here's what the TCRC looked like back in 1998.

Happy Birthday indeed. Thanks for posting this one. It's my most sighted resource.

Is that the same Chris Brewer that is now the GrassRoots Cooridinator for the LAF???

Chris points out that it has actually been 12 years!

Speaking of Chris, check this out: http://www.astana-cyclingteam.com/fr...-comeback.html

I happened to speak with Chris yesterday and he is moving to a new role with LAF. He is leaving the Grassroots team and moving into a role with the major donors group.

So Congratulations!

Scott, thanks for the link to that article by Chris. Great read.

Wow, seeing the site from 1998 brings back memories. When I was diagnosed with TC1 in 1996 (October 7th, in fact), the site was even smaller! Nevertheless, it was a lifeline and, shockingly (or perhaps not) the only resource I was able to find at that time on the Internet containing relevant, as opposed to superficial, information on TC. I never thought I'd need it again. It's good to see just how wonderfully that site has developed.

As of tonight, Chris is a married man! Many more congratulations!!
