Rotorheads regulars will have noticed we haven't heard from one of our most active and stimulating contributors recently. Lu's stepdaughter contacted me today to say he's been in hospital for the past six weeks, and he wanted us to know he'd be posting if he could.
I spoke to Lu this morning and I'm pleased to say he's in good spirits despite having been through a very tough course of treatment at a specialist hospital. He says the first four weeks were the worst, but the most recent test showed 'all clear' and, in his own words, he's "hanging in there."
We know Lu's a real fighter who never gives up under any circumstances - just the sort of determination which will serve him well fighting his particular illness.
I'm sure Lu will be in our thoughts and prayers, and that you'll join me in hoping he'll be discharged from hospital soon and well enough to be back in action - pointing out where that young Nick Lappos has got it all wrong - yet again!
Lu isn't able to use the internet at the moment (which must be very frustrating for him!) but I'll be keeping in contact with him and his stepdaughter and would be very pleased to make sure he sees print-outs of messages from his many friends here.

Thanks Heliport.
Lu was never shy to answer a question or give an opinion.
Though sometimes controversial; there is no denying his in-depth knowledge and experience.
Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery and I hope to see him back here soon.

Even those who disagree with your posts want you back on line so hang on in there. The intellects that question received knowledge are vital in science and especially so in the new science of rotary flight. (Yes it is still new. Compare it in age terms to marine technology.)
If Lu does not have web access right now, I hope someone will will print out the pages of good will for him.

Awlright Nick....Quit sticking those pins into that LU Doll!
Do pass our regards....and tell him to hurry back....Nick is getting off way too easy without Lu here to keep him on his toes!
If he fights this illness the way he does Nick....he will be back here in short order.

Hi Lu,
Sorry to hear of your recent illness. May I wish you all the very best for a rapid recovery and I look forward to some more friendly sparring again soon.
Take care,
CRAN

I'm sure I echo the sentiments of your friends at Airbus, Agusta and Robinson 
when I wish you Mercury's speed in returning to the crucible of debate.
We await the Rotorheads iconoclast....

Lu,
If you are able to fight illness with the rugged determination that you fight your corner in an arguement, you will be back on your feet in no time.
I am looking foward to seing you back here real soon!
I hope all is well.

Lu,
Three weeks after your last post on PPRuNe, we heard that Nick was leaving Sikorsky, rotorcraft, and PPRuNe.
He sent out a letter saying; " How can I decide to move to a new company, and a new area? ... I love change, and I love the sense of uncertainty and excitement. ... and to make an outcome with only limited knowledge of what will happen. " I assumed that Nick was leaving because you had quit posting on PPruNe.
Whatever, you have a job to do, provoking Nick. Get better and get back here; fast.

Lu's nurses were confounded when they took his temperature - instead of 98.6 it only read 80.6
Lu told them to ask Frank Robinson where the missing eighteen degrees went to....
Get well soon, Lu
