Rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated...

[The Voice]

For those who know Don LaFontaine, this is news gathered from another source...

Quoting here:

I have some news from Don to share. He has given me permission to post a letter about his health on VOX Daily. Don is going to recover.

Please read it here and add any thoughts or well wishes as comments on VOX Daily.

Update From Don LaFontaine

Thank you,

Stephanie

Don is NOT in some Iron Lung somewhere... he is at home - mending.

Thank you Frank :) I told Don that we'd help spread the news far and wide and was checking in to do the same. Again, I encourage everyone to leave a comment for Don on VOX Daily as he is overloaded with emails from the previous week. That way, he can read everything in one place and reply if he can.

Man! What a crazy series of events. Its great to hear that Don is doing well and will make a full recovery.

Thanks for the post Frank.

I'm so glad that Don is on the mend. My prayers go out to him and his family. I've already dashed over to VOX and left a comment.

Happy holidays, health and love to all!

That lucky guy is going to get to have all the lime jello he wants. Seriously though, I'm certain that everyone who's ever picked up a microphone is sending out their best wishes to the Don and his family. Hey if life didn't screw with you every once in a while, you might forget just how good a life you got.

If you're reading this Don, get well soon - and if you want to borrow my laptop, apogee minime and mic thing, I'm pretty sure we could rig up a fairly nice little recording system in your hospital room. You'll have to talk to the hospital adminstrators about putting in an ISDN line though.

Let me know.

[Anthony Williams]

I definitely wish the best for Don and his family

[The Voice]

Please do not give me credit for the information, it was Stephanie who accepted the phone call and the email, I just placed the connection information here.

Stephanie is wonderful that way.

As indicated, get well wishes at VOX Daily would be welcomed by Don.

Stephanie,
Thanks for putting that on Vox Daily... I didn't know it! I'll also put it in January's VoiceOver Insider... but, of course, that doesn't come out till New Year's Day!

Don... I am praying for you. What an ordeal!

And, Here I was having a pity party because I can't shake this cold/cough after two weeks...and am having trouble doing VO! Sorry, man. I pray you're up and around in no time and can enjoy a restful and blessed CHristmas and New Year!
What a blessing the right wife is, huh. SO glad she was there and is an RN!
