[SDCBC] Sheldon Brown

[John Eldon]

Thank you, Tom. Sheldon and I exchanged a number of cordial and constructive emails over the years, and I am extremely glad I made the commuter rail pilgrimage to West Newton to visit him at Harris Cyclery four years ago, when I was in Boston on business.

I am certainly going to miss him. Since my mother died from MS complications at age 66, I know a little bit of what he was going through.

As Sheldon would always sign off to me in emails: "All the best"

attack. :-( As many of you know, he has been suffering for some time 
with MS and life has been very difficult.

He made so many amazing contributions to the world of cycling over 
the years.  He'll be sorely missed.  His famous web site will now be 
static, but no doubt will contribute an astounding volume of valuable 
information for a long time to come.
