A personal note from Dandy's son in today's column (at the bottom) makes you believe that Dandy Don is fast deteriorating in health.

quote:

As many of you who have followed this site regularly know, my father, Don, has been battling cancer for quite some time. He remains strong and continues to fight admirably against this terrible disease, but it's getting more difficult by the day. I'm writing to ask that you keep my father, and our entire family, in your prayers.

My Dad and I will continue to work together, as we have for nearly 16 years, to provide you with a daily report on LSU news for as long as he is able, and after that I will keep his legacy alive by continuing the site with your help and with the help of several close sources. Please continue to read and support DandyDon.com as you have in the past, and tell all your Tiger friends to do the same.

Long live Dandy Don, and may God bless you all,

Scott Long
scott@dandydon.com

P.S. During the last year, I have gradually and steadily become much more involved in the writing of the daily reports. The change has gone largely unnoticed, and I consider this a great compliment. Dad continues to reply to the vast majority of the emails he receives and enjoys hearing from you, so keep them coming!

Prayers to Dandy. The first LSU fan site I regularly visited. I always enjoy his positive attitude about the Tigers. Stay strong DD.

I've been reading Dandy Don for years. Most of his long time followers feel like we know him even if never meeting him in person.
Even if we often pick on his optimism, the guy has dedicated a good portion of his life to getting us average fans valuable information on all the major LSU Sports.

to Dandy. This is a tough time for them. Prayers Sent.

Sadly after his wife passed it's not a surprise his health is deteriorating.
