Micheal Kamen, Bond composer for License to Kill was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) in 1996, but he didn't speak openly about the disease. In fact, Kamen didn't go public, or as he puts it, "come out of the closet," until last month, when he was awarded the Dorothy Corwin Spirit of Life Award at the annual Dinner of Champions fund-raising event benefiting the Southern California chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. MS is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that causes various disabilities, depending on the severity or progressive nature of the case.

May he and his family have the strenght to make the best out of this situation. We had an apprentice some time ago who was suffering from MS, so I have a little peronal experience on that subject. This ain't fun.

Hi Stromberg. I am of course very sorry to hear this. He IS a marvellous musician and composer.

I know a few people who suffer with MS. They have constant medical attention which seems to control the disease and I'm sure Mr Kamen will do the same.

Here's good health to you Michael,


Cheers Stromberg,


Ian
