Just got a call from Alice, Alan's wife.
I don't have all the details, but the bottom line is Alan is in the hospital and will remain there for about another five days. She called me to post this message from Alan to collectors who are in the middle of chip transactions. Alan wants you to know all unfinished business will be completed next week when he comes home.

I will keep you updated on Alan's illness.

This has been a difficult year from many collectors.....
Hoping 2k brings us all a better time
