				Over the past 2 1/2 years this list has grown to become my aviation 
 family, and so it's only fitting that I pause and THANK YOU all for the 
 help and support I've received from you and to wish you a MERRY 
 CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR

 PS. Some have noticed the the daily updates to my website haven't been 
 occurring. I'm receiving some off-line e-mail queries about why, so I 
 thought I'd post here to save some time.
 
 Last Wed. I experienced what the FAA calls 'a disqualifying event'. The 
 medical term is Transient Global Amnesia (TGA). In lay terms I 
 permanently 'lost' from 9am to 3pm of that day. Judy took me to the 
 emergency room where they did their diagnostics. Her description of the 
 events that transpired during the episode are comical in retrospect, but 
 I assure you there was nothing funny about it at the time. I have a 
 small recognition of the onset of the episode, and what I recall was 
 terrifying. Once the episode passed, and memory, and the ability to form 
 new memory returned, my biggest concern once I learned this was not a 
 life-threatening event was my future wrt to aviation, the RV-10 
 community and my project. I spent a very sleepless night in the hospital 
 during which I resigned myself to selling the project and retiring from 
 aviation as I suspected that the FAA would not look favorably on the 
 experience. Needless to say, having had this dream/ambition for so long 
 and having postponed it during the family/career years, and to be within 
 weeks of realizing it, I've been a little bummed these past few days.
 
 The good news is that TGA, while largely enigmatic to the medical 
 community, as to cause, appears to be completely benign, with no 
 residual health effects or implications, and the likelihood of 
 recurrence for me is only marginally greater than the general 
 population. When I was released Thurs. the 1st thing I did once at home 
 was to begin my own research courtesy of Google, and the associated 
 medical & FAA databases. I've read numerous medical papers/studies 
 published on the syndrome, learned about as much as a layman can. And 
 despite the initial anxiety that this produced, I'm becoming more and 
 more convinced of the favorable prognosis.
 
 After taking a couple of days to 'chill out' and smell the roses, I have 
 begun to wrestle with the personal decision regarding my aviation 
 related future. I won't bother you with the decision process but, during 
 my research of FAA Flight Surgeon advisory letters, I've learned that it 
 may be possible with a special issuance medical to continue my romance 
 with aviation, the downside is that the FAA wants to wait 1 year as a 
 precaution to ensure that the episode is not masking any other 
 neurological anomalies. I've confirmed all of this the other day during 
 a consultation with my AME, Dr. Farrod (who is exclusively dedicated to 
 aviation medicine). I'll begin collecting the data from the hospital 
 within a week or two so as to have it ready, when / if special issuance 
 time comes around. So for now, I'm grounded. As of the writing of this 
 note, I'm inclined to continue and somehow find a way to stretch 1-2 
 months of remaining work into 12 and not go crazy each time I read/hear 
 about one of the expected 100 completion's I expect we'll see next year. 
 So for the time being, the updates may be slower to non-existent. If 
 they resume, Their frequency will likely be reduced.
 
 I debated on whether to put this note out to the 'list' but I didn't 
 want to 'disappear' and become the next James McClow and the subject of 
 John Cox whimsical posts! Please rest assured, that I am physically and 
 mentally OK, there are no restrictions on any of my activities (other 
 than piloting) and there is no treatment required or necessary.
 If I decide to continue perhaps I'd use some of next year to help 
 organize and work on an RV-10 Piloting and Safety program. The content 
 of such a program would obviously require considerable input from the 
 community.

				Merry Christmas, Deems.  Sorry to hear about your "episode".  Too bad
 this had to happen when you are so close to flying your RV-10.
 Hopefully all will work out for the best.
 
 If you learn how to start such an episode, let me know.  There are a few
 days of my memory I wouldn't mind deleting from my files (the day I
 married my second wife, for example...).

				Deems,
 
 I really hope you convince yourself to stay on with the RV-10
 project.  You're a tremendous asset to the community, and
 a great guy to boot.
 
 Please, don't take offense.  You know me, I try to look
 for humor in everything...the funniest times in my life
 have been some of the ones where I was bleeding from something.  
 
 Now: I think you should look at this as an "opportunity".  You
 know, you, of everyone, are the king of the "mod" or "improvement".
 So, if ANYONE can stretch an RV-10 build out by another year,
 I'm sure you can.  Heck, what you think was only a couple weeks
 left could have easily been 6 months anyway, while you perfected
 things.  So my take on it is, you're just going to be forced to
 have the nicest RV-10 out there!
 
 Jack,
 
 I haven't figured out how I did it yet, but I was able to
 remove 95% of my memories of school...pre-college.  Not much
 of that time period in school was too fun, so I'm not
 disappointed with that.  It leaves me more time to focus on
 the present, which I have to say is MUCH more interesting.
 I did retain the memory of all the fun things in those
 years though.
 
 I also successfully removed almost all memories of my first
 marriage, which is a real bonus!

 It's hard to know what to say.   At least the FAA seems far more 
 tolerant of medical problems today than 20 years ago when I started 
 flying.  We are all rooting for you.

				Very easy solution. Keep building while your wonderful wife who has loved you tremendously and who will continue to love you, shows you her love again by getting her pilot's license. Every pilot needs a good co pilot, I'll leave the decision of who gets to play which role up to you.
   
  Keep pluggin away, great to hear it is not life threatening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

				Deems,
 
 Having met you at Osh Kosh and been a frequent visitor to your web site,  I for one would greatly miss the help and support that you have provided. There are always alternatives and more than one solution to problems. Take some time and consider things. I'm sure that you will come up with something to either get you in the air or to keep you motivated and working improving your 10. In reality, a year is not a long time.
 
 Merry Christmas,
 
 George Costigan

				Deems,
 
 All I can say is that I hope all works out and they don't delay your
 medical beyond a reasonable special issuance timeline.  I can't even
 imagine your emotions as you thought the dream had been shattered.
 
 Now, as to the next year or so...  I have some remaining fiberglass
 finishing work that you would be extremely well suited for...
 
 Take care and best wishes.
 
 Bob

 are grounded!

 I am thankful that you are okay and look forward to a long and continuing 
 association with our wonderful RV10 family.
 
 I think back to the time when Tim Olsen was about to finish his plane and 
 start flying. I was concerned for a short time that we were going to lose a 
 wonderful go-to guy from the ranks of builder to that of a pilot and watch 
 his contact and involvement slowly fade away. Thankfully, Tim is as active 
 as ever and I trust Deems that you will be doing the same.
 
 Get that beautiful piece of aeronautical workmanship into the air so that 
 when your all signed off you'll be ready to jump in and go.
 
 Merry Christmas,

				Deems,
 
 I wish you the best and while anytime would be unfortunate for this type of event, this time of year is especially unfortunate to hear news like this.  I hope for a pleasant outcome and that you will once again be able to achieve the fruition of your dream.  After you have done all your research on the subject are are comfortable, I highly encourage you to complete the aircraft, even if you have to have someone else fly off the test period so that once the FAA is satisfied, you can then continue your dream.  Through some particularly trying times in my life, working on my -10 was just the distraction I needed to keep my mind occupied, productive and possibly kept me from falling down the slippery slope of despair.  Best wishes, good luck, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

				Deems,
 
 I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I'm pleased that it is not
 medically serious for you, but I cant imagine the frustration around your RV
 dream.  Just for the record our RV is taking a year longer than planned,
 mostly due to a slow, part time painter. This has allowed me to do a lot
 more detail on the interior while he paints individual sections.
 
 Happy holidays!!

				Deems,
    First, I hope you are motivated by the support from all of the responses
 on the list.  You have made some huge contributions and I appreciate your
 words.  I am impressed by your phenomenal attitude and even a little humor
 at the end of your post.  I pray you will be able to continue your dream and
 add to the other comments of being thankful you are okay.
 
 Merry Christmas to all,
 Marcus

				Deems,
   
  I agree with Tim.
   
  Use the next year to really perfect your bird and work on those safety  ideas.......we don't need to lose you from the community!

 Deems,
 
 I really hope you convince    yourself to stay on with the RV-10
 project.  You're a tremendous asset    to the community, and
 a great guy to boot.
 
 Please, don't take    offense.  You know me, I try to look
 for humor in everything...the    funniest times in my life
 have been some of the ones where I was bleeding    from something.  
 
 Now: I think you should look at this as an    "opportunity".  You
 know, you, of everyone, are the king of the "mod"    or "improvement".
 So, if ANYONE can stretch an RV-10 build out by another    year,
 I'm sure you can.  Heck, what you think was only a couple    weeks
 left could have easily been 6 months anyway, while you    perfected
 things.  So my take on it is, you're just going to be forced    to
 have the nicest RV-10 out there!
 
 Jack,
 
 I haven't figured    out how I did it yet, but I was able to
 remove 95% of my memories of    school...pre-college.  Not much
 of that time period in school was too    fun, so I'm not
 disappointed with that.  It leaves me more time to    focus on
 the present, which I have to say is MUCH more interesting.
 I    did retain the memory of all the fun things in those
 years though.
 
 I    also successfully removed almost all memories of my first
 marriage, which    is a real bonus!

  Merry Christmas, Deems.  Sorry to hear about your    "episode".  Too bad
  this had to happen when you are so close to    flying your RV-10.
  Hopefully all will work out for the best.
     
  If you learn how to start such an episode, let me know.  There    are a few
  days of my memory I wouldn't mind deleting from my files    (the day I
  married my second wife, for example...).

				Deems, you can rest assured there will be nothing "Whimsical" from my
 posts this week.  You have been my inspiration and balance with your
 passion, hard work, tenaciously creative efforts and measurable
 progress. Sometimes temporary setbacks spark even greater
 accomplishments down the road of life. I hold hope for many more safe
 and healthy pilots flying RV-10s in the coming months and years just
 like You and Judy.  I immediately shared with my wife (and build partner
 your news).  As I reflected, I knew in my heart that this next year
 should be even better for you and Judy in "Living the Dream".
 
 We are blessed to live in such a wonderful country "One Nation Under
 God" with this liberty and freedom, with the community encouragement to
 be entrepreneurial and pursue those dreams, and the tolerance of others
 and their dreams, too.  It was only hours later, after your post, that
 my wife and I received word by telephone that a tragic death which took
 place here in Oregon a few days ago had reached out and directly touched
 our "First Family" of RV-10 builders with a loss of a loved one.  This
 week, this last month and certainly this last year has caused a great
 deal of reflection on what is truly important to us.
 
 To you and your family's continued good health, to the enjoyment of
 RV-10s, We wish you a speedy and full recovery. Just consider this a
 practice approach stall in the pattern of life. You are in our prayers
 and those damned Bill O'Reilly "Secular Progressives" on this list can
 just take a nap for a year.  Looking forward to seeing you.

 Over the past 2 1/2 years this list has grown to become my aviation 
 family, and so it's only fitting that I pause and THANK YOU all for the 
 help and support I've received from you and to wish you a MERRY 
 CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR
 
 Deems Davis #406
 
 warning what follows is off topic.
 
 I debated on whether to put this note out to the 'list' but I didn't 
 want to 'disappear' and become the next James McClow and the subject of 
 John Cox whimsical posts! Please rest assured, that I am physically and 
 mentally OK, there are no restrictions on any of my activities (other 
 than piloting) and there is no treatment required or necessary.
 If I decide to continue perhaps I'd use some of next year to help 
 organize and work on an RV-10 Piloting and Safety program. The content 
 of such a program would obviously require considerable input from the 
 community.

				Deems, 
  Wish you and your family the best during the Chrismas Holiday.  I hope you continue on and get that RV10 flying.  I may be flying to Mesa early next week..........if you feel up to it would you wanna go for a ride around AZ in 805HL?   
 God Bless, 
 DEAN

				Deems, good luck to you. When we were young, a year took forever, now we are
 not so young it seems to pass very quickly so a year will be gone in no time
 at all. I'm looking forward to your "extra" creativity you'll no doubt
 invest in your 10.
 Merry Christmas to you and to all the list.
