And life goes on

It has been quite a summer so far.

I survived the brain surgery in April. I had quite a large tumor removed from my brain in late April and stayed in the hospital for 9 days. Upon release I was able to walk and talk and do everything almost normally. Really a remarkable recovery. At least for the short term I had plenty of energy to work on making type to fill some of the back orders that I was terribly behind on. During May and June I was able to fill around a dozen orders that had been purchased by some of my new customers. I thank everyone for their patience and understanding during my slow resurrection.

I still have a few orders to make and I intend to work through those orders during the next month or so.

Last week my web site was severely hacked and after a little despair and a lot of floundering I have the site running in a basic way again. I am not sure if I will ever recover everything but the site limps along.

I restored the ordering process to most of the pages and am willing to take a couple of orders now. I think the shopping cart is working again, so if you are interested in ordering something, please give it a try.

Since I make all of the type to order, it will take a while to fill new orders. Depending on my ongoing cancer treatments, I must warn you that it will probably take a few weeks to make any new orders. If anyone orders a new font or more, I will send a personal email to   let you know when to expect anything.

I would like to thank everyone who is supporting me throughout this period.

Thanks so much.

Bill

  3. Very pleased to read of your recovery Bill and that you are able to catch up on orders – but remember to save some of that energy for healing too.

    Hi Bill,

    We have received the type and it is beautiful!
    Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your work, it will be a real pleasure teaching our students printing with these typefaces.
    I hope you’re recovery is going well and I look forward to ordering some more type off you in the near future.
