Matt Dralle
Many know Matt due to his Matronics mailing lists or his Mykitlog.com website and Kitlog build tracking application.
Regrettably, Matt had a stroke earlier in the week. I'm posting this on VAF because to minimize any potential hate mail sent his direction for lack of responsiveness in supporting these products. Unfortunately it's going to be awhile before he will be able to respond to any inquiries.
Matt needs our prayers as he recovers. The following was posted to his FB page last night.
Matt Update: He is responding to comments being made by squeezing Katie's hand and he was able to answer his age by using his one hand. All early indicators are that he is doing ok.
Katie sends her thanks for the prayers and that they are definitely helping.
This will be my last update for tonight.

Bob,
I remember Matt from his Matronics lists. Glad to hear he's doing better. Prayers on the way.
Get Well Soon, Matt!

Prayers for our fallen brother
Matt is one of the truly good guys. Let's all pause and ask the Good Lord to restore him to his (and our) family.

Wow... I was watching his latest youtube videos only yesterday. Wow...
Matt's build logs and videos helped keep me sane during the many years I had to wait before I started building. My hopes and prayers are being sent... truly wishing for a full recovery.

Thank you for the update, Bob. Being about the same age as Matt, and in the same industry, my thoughts and prayers are magnified into sharp relief. I’m grateful the early indicators are positive, and wish Matt a speedy recovery. Prayers being sent.

Prayers are with matt and his extended family. Having been in a situation myself, I can certainly feel for him, and say that prayers work.
Get well Matt--
Tom

Matt's Pre-VAF, Matronics RV-List internet board kept us early builds in the loop.
Best to you Matt and wishing you a speedy recovery.

That's hitting a little close to home. I think I'll go ahead and let my doctor put me on the cholesterol meds she's been wanting to give me for a while now.

Thanks for the posting. My KitLog has been down and I was getting no help from him to get back up, this explains it all.
Here is hope that he recovers quickly and can resume his previous lifestyle.

How terrible
He is certainly one of the stalwarts in this industry. Glad to hear there is some good progress.
