I'm Not Dead

To my readers: Family concerns are currently preventing me from posting to "Don To Earth", and from responding to the numerous e-mails that I have received and continue to receive.

Thank God! We were all so worried about you! (Seeing that picture, though, caused my heart to skip a beat).

I hope all goes well with your family, however. Thank you for updating us, though.

Family comes first, always, and along with the others, I appreciate the update...and the fact that you're still among us.

I watched the movie Shattered City: The Halifax Explosion last night (excellent movie, for those looking for something true-to-life). And as I watched the scenes immediately following the explosion, I couldn't help thinking of you, and wondering just how close the movie came to what actually happened. What a lucky kid you were to have had a fourth birthday!

Good Evening Don
I found out about this blog on the program "The Hour" broadcasted 06/25/2007 and was captivated immediately I have spent the last couple of hours reading the most interesting history, I use to sit at my Grandparents table and listen to stories about "the early days" and was alway amazed how in the face of adversity one could always find something to smile about, I believe that my generation should step back to yester year and appreciate what has been done for us. I look forward to reading the next chapter All the best to you and yours

At 11:06 PM, Blogger Alex Pendragon said...

To whom it may concern,

I am just one of those fortunate ones who happened to stumble across this blog and thus was introduced to a very pleasant gentleman who had much to say that, so rare in this day and age, was truly genuine and valuable. Don may very well have been the oldest blogger on the planet, but it mattered little, for he was one of us and in his own humble way became the patriarch of a very large family, albeit a virtual one. That being said........

We miss him. We have been patient and allowed him to tend to his troubles, but now that we have given due time, we feel that perhaps both the best and worst has happened to our aged friend. The best I speak of is that perhaps he has completed the circle of life and has now reached those conclusions that we all know await us. The worst I speak of is that he has been removed from our vast family and we will have to continue on without those thoughts that have nurtured us, his virtual family. In such a case we are indeed bereft.

We doubt very seriously that Don did not have family, and we would assume that someone related to him and responsible for him also knows of this blog and is capable of signing on, if only in comments, and let us know what has become of our friend. We would be most grateful if one of you would take the time to let us know the ultimate reason for Don's absence for such an extended period so that we may seek closure if necessary, or hold him in our thoughts or prayers if he needs them.

We ask so little. Please let us know.


Don's friends, known and unknown

Don is alive and well. In fact, he and his beloved Margaret are looking forward to celebrating their 68th wedding anniversary on August 22! He thinks of you a lot and plans to return to blogging. It was not his intention to lose contact with you - in fact, each and every one of you is special to him, far more than you would ever realise. It was circumstances beyond his control that put an abrupt halt to his blog, but keep posted and you will be pleasantly surprised!!! Many thanks for your loyalty and for making my Dad feel so special.

Do not worry. I am one of Don's daughters and I can tell you that he is alive and well. He and Margaret celebrated their anniversary yesterday. Someone is either misinformed or has a warped mind and is playing a not-so-funny joke by adding that last paragraph to his Wikipedia entry. I talked to him five minutes ago. He is in great spirits and making plans for his day.

Hi Don, Well, I am glad you are not dead as I did not have time to tell you how I enjoyed my afternoon talking to you last week at Honda. What an amzing man you are and what a full life you have had, if only half the people on the planet could accomplish what you have done, we would have a better world.
Then to find out that your wife was a MacLeod which is my name made my day. I told you there was a clan gathering in Ottawa next summer, here is the web site: www.macleodgathering2008.ca Hopefully you will be able to attend.
I will spend more time on your blog and enjoy your adventures.
All the best.

Hi Don:
Thank you for attending my performance on Sat., Nov. 24, 2007 - and also for speaking with me after the show. Congratulations on you accomplishments and most of all for being sooooo'young at heart' - you have more energy than some of the young people I've encountered in my professional life. Hope to see you again in the near future. Keep up the great work - young man.

Being an Australian... now living in America... I will be honest in saying that I have never heard of you (I am sure that is nice to hear sometimes) but by chance I stumbled across your site... I must say that I really enjoy your writing... when I read what you are writing I find myself deep in what you are saying... it isn't often I find people doing that to me. Do hope all is well... best of luck...

I hope your blog stays online, even if you never post again. You have the most amazing writing style. I've really enjoyed perusing (and reading) through your older posts...stay here please!

Donald,
I just discovered your blog tonight after 'google-ing' my own name and finding yours on zoominfo.com!
I am an art curator at Cape Breton University Art Gallery in Sydney, Nova Scotia, and read with delight that you too were a curator. Also, i find you look like my grandfather, Ivan Crowdis.
I hope your health is well. I would love to speak further with you if that would be ok.
Cheers,
Suzanne A. Crowdis

"Don to Earth" has remained in my blog roll for a long time, but now we are pressing nearly a year without update.
Form the comments we can't tell too much as there is no date - just the time and over a year that becomes meaningless.
So - here my questions - what the situation with Don, and should I keep this blog in my blogroll?

Don has moved! Check out his new blog - http://dontoearthagain.wordpress.com/

 
At 9:01 AM, Blogger Unknown said...

To all the many people who've been asking for information on Don and his blog:

Don is my grandfather and I can tell you he's doing fine. He didn't intend to take this long hiatus from the world of blogging and in fact has been writing ever since the last entry here. I've been meaning to set up the new blog for a long time, and it's really my fault that you haven't heard anything until now.

I hope you'll all enjoy the new site - you'll find it at www.dontoearthagain.com. Some of Don's writing from the past year is up already and there's much more to follow.

Thank you all for the kind messages posted here, they've been very much appreciated. Apologies once again for the delay in replying.

Hi Don: I met you in your office in Halifax in 1965. In 1970 I was in a doctor's waiting for my appointment and was unaware there was a radio program on in the background. The announcer said "OK Mr. Crowdis" (introducing Don Crowdis) and I got up from my chair and started to go into the doctor's office before I realized my mistake. Since we are related it is easy to see that you have that "Crowdis Look" and in fact you look nearly identical to my uncle John Crowdis who is also 93 and fit as a fiddle. Are you aware there was a detailed history of the Crowdis Family published in the US a few years ago? In any case I have a number of aunts who are over 100 so hope you reach that age as well.
Best of Luck, Ray Crowdis

I might suggest that since the blog has moved and so many people are interested, that you create a new post announcing the move. Most people are not going to scroll 175 comments to see the information.

This would benefit your readers and for those of us who had you in our feeds, we would be notified.

best to all

dilkman - you're right of course, and I would love to add a new post to this blog but unfortunately I'm not able to do so, for reasons I can't really go into here.

Please do do something to let the world know that Don is still writing. I know many of us have missed his posts badly.

Hello, my name is Violeta Facio. I am an student of psicology in the University of Sevilla interested in searching some information about the use of the internet in old people. I am sorry if my language is not very correct but I am Spanish and I don´t have too much knowledges of English language.
The reason why I am writting to you is to ask you if you could answer some easy and short questions for me in order to help me in my project.
So, if you can give me any e-mail to contact with you I will send you the questions hoping you answer them and send them back to me.

Thankyou very much,

I look forward to hear from you.
