Hang in there, Greg!!

Greg - Hi. This is Frost Keaton. We used to work at barnes & noble.com. And strangely enough, I go to school w/ your sister-in-law Carrie and have become good friends with her over this past year.

So I feel a bit like I'm in bizarr-o world right now. First off - I had no idea that my friend Carrie SEWELL-Bancroft was any relation to you whatsoever. That's Shock #1. Shock #2 is to then put all these pieces together and figure out that I actually know the person in these heartfelt emails she's been writing. Shock #3 is to read your blog and see all these people write about you that we used to work with. Wow! I would so much have rather re-connected with everyone over better circumstances...but I think your full recovery would be just the circumstance that would make these reconnections stellar!

I know we didn't know each other all that well back in bn.com days. But I certainly remember who you are. I think the first time I met you was at a party at Sarah Steinberg's place in the west village. That must have been about 10 years ago. How's that for a time warp?!?! But now due to all these strange random turn of events I feel like I have a much closer bond to you.

So listen - you've got to get better. I know you will. There's so much energy pouring out through these postings putting positive healing your way. It's been so great hearing all these wonderful stories about you - and reading from all these old friends of ours. I would love nothing more than to hear how you made a full and speedy recovery, and celebrate it at some old watering hole like the Art Bar with you and all our old bn.com colleagues. That would absolutely rule! Make that happen!! What a fantastic reunion that would be!!!

I know you'll pull through, Frost
