It is almost two years after a nephew of Mr. Greenwood passed away for leukemia at the age of 48.
His school mates published a memorial book about him.
About one third of the book consists record of communication through E-mail and rest a record of out door life shared among friends of him.
Whole record of E-mails reached up to 100,000 words. He carried his power book into clean room and continued his carrier covering up his case as a news reporter. He dispatched latest progress from the clean room. Mr. Greenwood joined the communication circle.
Detail of marrow transplantation was directly reported by him. Members of the circle could share a most unusual experience.
One time, it was considered a successful operation and all members of the circle gathered in a "Victory Run"to celebrate the success.
Unfortunately, the operation failed due to too much similarity of the donor's marrow to his one on DNA level. If the difference is big, his body will be attacked by transplanted marrow.
