I saw a note yesterday on Twitter that Ken Fisher (@sqlstudent144) was in the hospital for emergency surgery. I'm asking that anyone that knows Ken, has heard him speak, read his blog, or done one of his crossword puzzles, leave a positive note, thought, or well wish in the thread for this editorial.

I've gotten to know Ken over the last few years, and been blessed to see him in person and get a hug. He's a wonderful man, and we've had a number of private conversations on various topic. Ken is someone that I communicate with every month or two, even though we rarely see each other in person.

Ken is also an amazing blogger, providing all sorts of information on SQL topics, regular homework and more. He is one of the more popular bloggers that is on SQLServerCentral. He has taught many people how to improve their SQL Server skills. He has also entertained us with a number of SQL related crossword puzzles over the years.

I hope Ken is doing well. I'm sure we'll get an update at some point, but I thought it might be nice to have a long list of comments on a digital card of sorts for Ken and his family. Please consider writing something in this thread and wishing Ken a speedy recovery.

Ken, my brother, I hope you recover quickly and I look forward to seeing you sometime soon in the future for another hug.
