Anyone heard from Ted? I just realized it’s been over two years since The Great Briar Patch Schism. Sure was an interesting time around here, back in May-June 2019…

Sure was an interesting time around here, back in May-June 2019… I was in touch with him a bit after he left. Then got nothing. He wasn't terribly healthy, but I've no idea what the score is with him. I'll reach out and see. |

But note to all...please keep any negative opinions of the man away from the public forum.

Same as above. Reached out a few times, got a few replies, and then nothing.

It is next to impossible to figure out what is going on in people's lives.
Even at the pipe club level, meeting face to face we get enthusiastic people attending regularly, only to see them drop off never to be seen again.
Health issues, kids, priorities, work, disconnecting from the internet? The possibilities are endless.
With Lonecoyote, one might be able to say they saw it coming.
With long standing members, I hope that they would share their log in with their significant other, or close person so as to let us know if anything should happen to them. In the case of Fishnbanjo, it was nice to see that Lestrout being a close friend was able to notify us all, and reading his obituary was quite something, quite an accomplished career of which he deserved to take pride in, but was very humble about it.
It is a bummer when people just disappear from the scene, never to be heard from.

Family issues and health, usually. There're a few that have gone on hiatus, perhaps never to return. Best wishes to them all.

Unfortunately, Lonecoyote did not have any significant others or even close friends that he could share it with.

One of my favorite members of the Patch. He knew so much and was quick to share his insights. I miss him...
