Site admin could run a report on users with more than 500 posts that haven’t logged in since xx/xx/xxxx and dump the user names here. I have to think about what I had for dinner 3 nights ago… it’s hard to recall usernames I haven’t seen in years!

I also hated to see Dean go.

One great contributor that passed (I think) suddenly/quietly was Jim Sims. He had a great deal of expertise in in 911 A/C.

I owe him a call, we are supposed to try and get together for dinner.

He's swamped with business and has some normal life stuff going on that's not my place to speak about but he's good.

Haven't seen or or heard from Jims5543 lately. My fellow Land Surveyor brother down in Florida. I sent him a pm on 6/16 with no reply and see he hasn't posted since 4/29. Hoping he's alright!

Has anyone heard from "Rica" lately? I miss his posts in PARF.

We talked by phone this weekend and text each other all the time.

I am trying to help get some of his ideas into DoD UAS.

Great guy.

I can tell you that one of the things that surprised me when I became a Mod was the relatively frequent PM that either asks for help with a stalker or requesting we erase all their posts since they are no longer happy with OT and PARF.

That's super unfortunate.

The bit about PARF is not that surprising.

Seahawk, I applaud the efforts you have made since becoming a mod, but the nonsense and damage was already done.... rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic comes to mind. You've made a difference for sure .... my brief forays into PARF have shown me that . Nobody really comes here to discuss religion however ... but it will surely keep the non-believers away.

Warren Hall, Early_S_Man.

How many of us knew him from this forum? His contributions are on par with Grady.

Though I never met him, he helped me with many challenges with my car back when I first got it.

His death deeply affected me, it was the first and most notable absence from this forum.

Yeah, Warren was an excellent resource.

His 73S found its way to a guy here from Dallas as I recall. I forget his name but haven’t seen him post in a long time… lived near White Rock lake.

As many have written, Angela is the one I miss - she just had a way that made me and many, many others smile.

I regret not taking the time to meet her and Steve, her family.

What a fine person.
