Looking for non-white bone marrow donors

This is a friend of swestrup's and taxlady. He has leukemia and needs a donor who is preferably black and Caribbean. I've thrown my hat into the ring and am waiting to hear from them; mahogany, you should register if you haven't already. It's just a mouth swab.

Even if none of us people of African descent (feels odd to type that) are a match, apparently the bone marrow registries are sadly lacking in registrants who aren't white. We need to address that.

I saw that. I have to finish clearing before I can register, though I doubt I'd be any sort of match given my genetics. The active duty military have their own database, but given my imminent ETS, it'd be irrelevant to use their system, but I'm also blocked out of the civilian one until I complete my ETS. Timing is everything, eh?

It's almost certain you would not be a match, but it's a good thing to be registered for anyway. There's no rush for you to do so until after ETS.

Speaking of ETS, I have a present for you at my house. I'd be happy to meet you on post to deliver it, if you like. I just don't want either of us to move to another place and it not find its correct home.

Odd question.

If your friend ever going to contact us to pick up his goody?

It's still here and I don't want it to end up going missing for *any* reason, like us moving.

Send him a message; he's electorprince. I nagged him only last week.

Thank you!

Matter of fact, there's some of his comments up there.

I wasn't sure if that was him, or not. I'm an airhead about names.
