Condolences to our founder CHRIS TOWNSEND

This is very sad news. Chris Townsend, the founder and administrator of the SVXWN, has lost the love of life after 17 years together. Sara was only 39. Rather than try to explain it all, Chris has posted it with heartfelt eloquence and love far better than anyone could on his Facebook Page.

Chris, you have our heartfelt compassion during this time. I know your posts on Facebook have been most difficult to write during these times, but hopefully therapeutic and healing. Earl is trying to establish a special section on the network “In Memoriam” for things such as this that will be stickied and never forgotten.
