It has been a busy 12 months.....I began an additional project - writing a new weather book which will be called the Connecticut Weather Almanac, or something very close to that. What an exhausting project, but I am now more than halfway there. It will be published later this year. Yet, I haven't done much on Sketches, the year was very difficult. I lost several good friends to this disease, and the weather book became an escape from the realities of dealing with an incureable disease. In addition, I have had a series of minor setbacks which appears to be under control. Early this morning, is the first time in months that I have been able to sit down to share some thoughts - trying to break the ice with you, once again. There is more reason than ever to remain optimistic. |

The Danbury News Times gave Dr. Mel and the scholarship in his name a nice write-up this past Sunday. Here's a bit of what Robert Miller wrote: For 26 years, Goldstein was the head of the meteorology department at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury. But to say he was the head is an understatement. In fact, he created it.
"When I came to the school, it was still Western Connecticut State College," Goldstein said. "The department had a barometer and a thermometer."
Today, WestConn has its own weather center, initially built with funds Goldstein earned on the side as a television and radio forecaster, and is the only school in Connecticut to offer a bachelor's degree in meteorology.
The university has honored Goldstein in the past, giving him its highest award -- the school's President's Medal in 1997. But on Friday, he'll he honored in a different way, with the university creating a scholarship for meteorology students in his name. Here's the full story. |

NEW MILFORD -- Cancer stormed into Wayne Poulter's life a decade ago like an off-the-radar tornado, the diagnosis ripping him apart.
Searching for a forecast of what might lie ahead, this weekend skier and runner was steered to the state's high-profile meteorologist Dr. Mel Goldstein, his former Western Connecticut State University professor who a year earlier discovered he would have to weather the same formidable, incurable foe.
"It took me 30 days just to say multiple myeloma, never mind spell it,'' Poulter said.
To this day, Poulter contends it was Goldstein's optimism mixed with realistic expectations that lowered his anxiety.

It was Fran Delaney night on that second Tuesday in June, 2007. That particular Cruise Night in Norwich, Ct. was dedicated to Fran who was quite the car enthusiast. He was proud of his ’57 Chevy and his ’67 Chevelle S 96 Super Sport. At one time he even had his own race car. He loved life and was loved by everyone who was close to him. He was also somebody who fought a tough battle with multiple myeloma. Yet, through his myeloma years, he always held onto his optimism and kindness, and he would give you the shirt off his back, or at least his jacket. |

I first met Carl Sherman outside a diner In Old Saybrook, Ct. He was a friendly and likeable character who had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He asked questions concerning my treatment, and at the time, he was considering an autologous transplant. A transplant seemed right for him, after all, it seemed that Sherman has been transplanted many times to many places. His office was his cell phone, and he had always gone far and wide to seek a fortune, and why not do the same when it comes to staying ahead of a deadly disease? He has always been the man on the move. Actually, in an 11-year period he moved 17 times. |
