Matchlock silence

You all should have already noticed that Michael has been silent for quite a while.
After several atempts, i managed to have a rough idea of what is going on; the man has been hospitalized and subject to urgent surgery. This has been a delicate process, in a manner that he will be healing in hospital for the next few months.
Needless to say that, besides our deepest worries abouth his health condition, his absence from the forum is such a heavy weight loss.
Let's hope he recuperates fast and be back with us as soon as possible.
He sends his greetings to those from the forum.

Matchlock!

I wish you a good and throughout recovery and hope you will be back very soon.

Gute Besserung!

Michaels absence reveals clearly how instrumental he has been here in his constant and profound participation, and above all his selfless sharing of his lifes work in the study of medieval arms and armour. I join others here in missing him deeply and am anxious for his recovery and return.
We hope we can keep updates on his status here, and will make every effort to follow his always inspirational lead in keeping our discussions and entries progressive in the meantime.

Godspeed Michael, we are with you as always, recover well,

Jim

Return soon, please. You are unmatched!

Unfortunately Michael's condition is still rather delicate; soon he will have to be back to surgery scenary. It is also an assumed fact that he will have to go through a long rehabilitation process, this meaning the soonnest until next May.
However he sounds good and sends his cordial greetings.

Best wishes and prayers for a swift recovery for Michael. His knowledge and insights are an integral part of our forum and they are sorely missed.
I think I can speak for all of us when I say "Sie sind immer in meinen Gedanken und Gebeten."
