What ever happened to...........

Ever wonder what happened to (insert FTE member's name here ) ?

I haven't heard from a few members that use to post here quite a bit.

If you want, post a name and see if maybe someone knows what happened to.....

'ben,

There are several people that I'd like to know about.

However. . . I do believe that some of these individuals 'were shown the door' and that (as they say) is that.

Still. . . .

There's a couple of guys in Canada that I'd like to know how they are doing.
A guy in Washington State or Oregon. (Can't remember exactly where. I have "Partsheimer's Disease".)

A guy in Montana. (He wasnt' in the best of health).

Why not post a "Roll Call"??????

I know some were 'asked to leave', but there are others who simply vanished into thin air.

I'm aware that some were asked to . . . . .

Still, without treading in deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep water, I'm curious how these individuals are.

As for disappearing, I can't remember the one guy in Montana. If I search long enough, I'll remember. He was not in good health. . . at all.


Still. . . no matter who they are, these guys are remembered, that's all.

Howdy,

Yeah... I'm still around and it's correct. I just don't post a lot anymore. I do a lot of reading, when I stop in. My health? Well... I was in the hospital with some blood clots in my lungs, but am back out and about, just doin' my usual things. I post on a bunch of different forums nowdays. A new hobby is photography and I've been posting lots of pics on photobucket, webshots and esnips, where I'm a moderator. It's pretty low key, with the exception of a few who hate any kind of authority... especially mods. heh heh. Not that it'd ever happen here, y'know. I still caterwaul and post my music on a few different sites also, but since losing my job due to my legs giving out on me too often... two years this Nov, I've not felt good enough to sing much. I keep promising myself and others, that I'll get back in the flow..hopefully, this coming winter. My back and legs are getting worse all the time, with nerves pinching at inopportune times. But, I still work a bit around the yard and do my best to keep busy when I can.

Dennis... well, he's not here anymore and I won't bother going into reasons for that. Someone else can say something if they desire... but it's not really necessary. Dennis is posting on several other Ford Truck sites, where he feels appreciated & is still friends with lots of folks from here, who post on multiple forums.
Anyway... I babble too much... another reason not to post a lot. I've found that some folks just like to argue too much, so in order to keep myself in a good humor, I avoid responding to a lot of threads. I'd much rather get along with everyone, than discuss politics or religion. ACK!

Thanks for asking about us. We still think highly of many old friends here. Take care and God Bless all a ya's.

Nah, not Dick. I do miss his posts, though. Pics of his (rider) snowblower and discussion of same come up at work, from time to time. GREAT idea he had!

This guy I'm thinking of was fairly young and had issues with his back and neck.

I'll look to see if I have one of his old PMs. (Just looked. The PMs are gone.)
He was having some bad times with this health and we talked on the phone a couple of times.

Dennis is posting on several other Ford Truck sites, where he feels appreciated & is still friends with lots of folks from here, who post on multiple forums. He still goes by the same username... which I can't even type and post here. ( The machine won't let me post, using his username! Wow! ) But, You can google his username and find him pretty easy, without me trying to post any links to "competition" websites, which I wouldn't do anyway. Folks here have been very kind to me and I hope they know how grateful I am. Dennis has also been singing... yepper.... Dennis. We both post our music on the same forum. Hey... he does a great Elvis and I've heard a lot of people who sing Elvis tunes. I've definitely heard some good and some really bad. He is way up there near the top of my list.

Anyway... I babble too much... another reason not to post a lot. I've found that some folks just like to argue too much, so in order to keep myself in a good humor, I avoid responding to a lot of threads. I'd much rather get along with everyone, than discuss politics or religion. ACK!

Thanks for clarifying that for us, Dick. It's good to see you 'lurking around' too!

Ranger... are you trying to think of that guy up on the island off Alaska? I've also wondered how he is faring. His sudden silence probably has a lot of folks concerned.

If it's Twolf, who had back and mainly neck problems, he's doing alright. We keep in touch via email. He lives south of me about 150 miles or less.
