The more original CTT forum members will know the name Big Boy, well

[ChiefEagles]

Elliot Feinberg and I just talked.  He is not OK.  He is having a place removed from his arm that is a result of a cancerous spot removed earlier.  Elliot was one of the firsts on the CTT forum and others [MR and Gardens].  Elliot encouraged me to start the Coffee Pot as a continous thread.  Earlier I had created a new one each morning.  Elliot did the big layout that was in the Mall of Americas.  Elliot is featured on sevral of Tom McComus videos on train layouts.  Special prayers for Elliot.

[Bob Keller]

To be sure! We were just talking about him in the office last week - it had been a while since anyone remembered seeing a posting from him. My thoughts and prayers are with him!

[csxt30]

Sure will put him on the prayer list. I remember the great pictures Chief took of him & his layout. Some will remember his huge helix. Hope he recovers soon. Thanks, John

[dbaker48]

As a "new" guy, I had the pleasure of a few email chats with Elliot, he truly IS an asset to this hobby, and hope he has a speedy recovery !!!!!!

BIG BOY.....You are in our prayers. Get well soon.

All the best to Elliot. Never met the man, but I remember his contributions here and I have the TM videos which I watch every now and then, particularly during the holidays.

Wishing him a speedy and full recovery.

[Dr. John]

Chief, thank you for letting us know about Elliot. He'll be in my prayers.

[palallin]

First round said; more to come. If you talk to him again, let him know we're all pulling for him!

 Thanks for the notice Chief-  I hope Elliot's Cancer is not life threatning & all goes well for him. Take Care all.

Hope Elliot gets better! He sure is a nice guy, he has done so much for me and many others on the board!

 

He even gave me an "R" tranny when I found out my 40 watt starter set one couldnt handle postwar accesories that I got from Dr. Fu. Its still working great, Its a nice transformer, I have replaced the cord and put new lenses on it.

Thanks for the update on Elliot, Chief. I had been wondering where he was as I hadn't seen any posts from him lately. Give him my best.

Big Boy very kindly helped me out on several of my earliest posts. He has been added to our family's prayer list.

Yes I remember BigBoy.And I'll remember him in my prayers.I have been wondering about him lately.Prayer is a great medicine.This exact time last year my Dad was very sick in the hospital and had two operations.He had complications from one of the surgerys and landed right back in the hospital.He has recovered now nicely and is as mean as he ever was.But prayer and doctors guided by God,got him though it.

[tmcc man]

Chief, thanks for the notice. BigBoy is in my prayers now.

[nblum]

My best wishes to Elliott for a complete and rapid recovery. 

[Blueberryhill RR]

Any news on Elliott ???

[ChiefEagles]

None but this Thursday is the big day for surgery.  Thought I'd call next Monday.

[ben10ben]

Chief,

Thanks for the update. I'll certainly keep Elliot in my prayers as he goes in for surgery next week. 

[Kooljock1]

One of the nicest guys in the hobby! We're all prayin' for ya Elliot. And us Baptists pray till we sweat! Jon

[cheapclassics]

To all,

Thanks Chief for the update.  I remember some of Bigboy's posts and the article on his layout in the Mall of America.  It is too bad that did not draw the business it needed to keep going.  I hope all turns out for him.  For the newer members to the "coffeepot", we have a powerful group of prayer partners.  I know from personal experience.  Count me in on the list.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Thanks for the update on Big Boy but this is the kind of news we all deplore. I will be praying for your surgery to be successful and your health to be restored as quickly as possible.

Prayer combined with the right mental outlook work together to prepare a person for whatever life brings our way. Big Boy we will keep you covered with our prayers and you keep your head up and looking down the tracks!

Warmest Regards from Alaska!

I missed the original post on this since I was out of town at the time. My prayers are with Elliott - a real gentleman . Chief - let us know if you can get an update.

[A&Y Ry]

All the best to "Big Boy", a genuine asset to many of us in the o-gauge family. Thoughts and prayers!

[dwiemer]

Chief, please do pass along my best wishes and let him know he is in our prayers.  Just watched the video on Fastrack again, and I Hope to see Elliot back in full swing and in some more informational videos (as well as his presence here).

Roy,

Thanks for bumping this up.  Until now I wasn't aware that Elliot was doing poorly.  I hope he's better now and on the road to a speedy recovery.  Get well soon , Elliot!
