Hi To all the Pantera world out there,
 
I have been a lurker on the site for the past year or so and only very  
rarely contribute.
 
I have been a Pantera owner for the last 20+ years and I am coming to Vegas  
for the event this year as it is  13 years since I last came.
 
I have stayed with Don and Freddie several times and was made to feel most  
welcome ( Especially as I am a foriegner to most of you) Their hospitality  was 
second to none  and Don is one of the kindest people that I have ever  met . 
I am deeply saddened to hear this news  as I am sure that all of you  who know 
Don will be .
 
Through this forum I would like to send them both my very best wishes at  
what I am sure is a very difficult time for them both.
 
Sincerely
 
Roger  Coates (GT5S ) England.
