I'd like to take this opportunity to remember Robert Vaughn Young.

Those who have been here for years know what kind of man he was.  But for
the roughly 100 newbies in the last year....

Bob was originally from the northeast.  Seattle, I think.  He was a U.S.
Marine and a warrior.  At some point, he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio and
married his second wife, Caren.  Or maybe they married and moved.  I don't
remember.  It's not important.

During late 1999, he discovered he had terminal prostate cancer.  His PSA
was 1000+ and Stage was M1c.  The shock, as I think you can still read on
his website, brought him to his knees on his kitchen floor.  But, like a
phoenix, he rose up.  He became very involved in this NG and was one of the
more helpful people to me.  He built www.phoenix5.org, considered by many to
be the best layman's source for Prostate Cancer information in the world.
He began a man-to-man prostate group in a Cincinnati suburb called the
Prostate Cancer Networking Group.

As we got into the Year 2003, Bob posted less and less.  He update the
website less frequently.  He eventually stopped going to his group because,
as he said, he didn't want them to be disheartened by his appearance.

On June 15, 2003, Bob died.

Caren continues maintaining www.phoenix5.org.  Others have taken over his
group.  But, he left a void here that may never be filled by any one single
person.
