Coytee Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Got to thinking about him today.... anyone know how he's doing? He's been gone for quite a while now but last I heard, it was because of PC issues with his web-TV or something like that. (he also had some side issues with health & things) ?? I know some here were in more contact with him than me. Any updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I was just thinking about him myself and was going to post this same message. The last I heard, was the same as you. Health and internet problems. I pray all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmikid Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 You triggered the same thoughts with me guys. I hope he's well. Had a great email conversation with him while the gang fixed me up with my MC-30's. My minds sucks though, how's that possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I have not heard either...sent many email and a snail mail...no answer...I always hoped he could stop by a library or something, signon and say hello once in a while at least...he is a wealth of knowledge and a nice guy...I hope his health and life have improved...

colterphoto1 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Amy and I searched for him earlier this summer. I think he finally posted somewhere here. The old phone number isn't his anymore. That web/computer thing doesn't work so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Ok then... here's my proposal... Duke, your job is to find out if he's in fact ok and (hopefully) his only issue is Webpc verses 'no-pc'. (just jump right on that & pay no mind to me giving orders, mmmK?? []) Others... If his issue is in fact NO pc, then I propose we all might chip in some $$ and (after we figure out the needs) we pool the $$ together and buy Win either a laptop or desktop pc. Doesn't need to be fancy, just work for him. I'd even bet that between us we could donate spare parts and build one for him better than we could buy one, however, we have logistics of parts being strewn all over the country and would need to gather them & build it. I'd speculate the 'easy button' is to just buy one & deliver it or have it shipped. If we all send some $$ to a single person (of course since I'm on a roll, I'd nominate Duke and any $$ he'd consider putting in, is offset by his efforts to be the local guy). Anyways... we could send the $$ to Duke (or someone) who could then delver said item to Win and be the one to witness the smile. Don't forget the camera! Perhaps the idea is off the wall a bit BUT.... I recall him having such dignity and being of such help that if having a PC is the ONLY thing preventing him from hanging around folks like us (so we can corrupt him) then I'm all for removing that barrier. If this DOES develop and we know what the $$ needs are, I'd personally be game to chip in up to $100.00 towards the goal. If enough folks participated then maybe the $$ per person wouldn't be too bad. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'd be up for that... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
