Today, 12/22 my Mom--Arlyn was wisked off to Pittsburgh to start Chemotherapy for Lukemia. It's all been very sudden, and I'm still in a state of shock to be honest. I mention this only because my Mom and Dad are the other two poeple involved in this business, and it's pretty clear that at least for a while I'll be the only one around much. As such, I have to beg for your understanding and patience. I'm taking over two other jobs, learn them, still do my technical work and deal with Mom's illness.

I still want to give the advice and be as helpful as I can. But there are now going to be less hours in the day for me to do that. I'm supposing that tech calls will become shorter and much more to the point from pure necessity. I am not going to stop taking those calls or cease helping folks. That's what put me where we are today. However, it might take a bit more time for me to return those calls or respond to e-mail. I ask for your understanding in this matter.

Please, please feel free to pass this along if anyone is looking for me and I haven't been able to respond.

Thank you all, and I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

Arlyn, this is PHENOMENAL news!!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) The crazy thing is that I did not even know there was a problem until I noticed this thread when you posted the update. I've only been on here a short time, and I guess I have not ordered from Stranoparts often enough in the past 2 years.
I will admit that I welled up when I read this (I lost my mom 10 years ago to brain cancer, she was only 62).
You are THE MOST gracious/warm/helpful/human person that I have EVER dealt with in the customer service realm, PERIOD!!!!! In fact, you set the standard so high that you ruin it for all of the other c.s. people I have to deal with!!

I just hope that BOTH Sams (and all of the rest of the family and co-workers) know how lucky they are to have someone like you around. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/gr_grin.gif)

Due to serious medical complications I find myself working alone for the forseeable future. Strano Performance is not closed, just extremely busy for one person doing all the work...

I hope it is not as bad as the health issues from last year Sam.

There's a thread over on ls1tech. I exchanged PM's with Sam yesterday and it appears that Arlyn has had a signifigant setback. Sam will be handling the shop all alone, so if he's slow to get back to you, don't panic, give him some time. Keep Arlyn in your thoughts and prayers guys.
