So, we recently saw a few messages asking about Mac's status. He has the most posts on the forum with 38,502, but has not logged in since April 2014. I used to have his phone number, and haven't spoken with him in several years. I hope he is doing well.
We also haven't heard from Gary Curran in quite awhile. Does anyone know his status? He's the 6th most prolific poster with 10,057 posts, but he hasn't logged on since April 2015. My last PM communication with him was back in late 2011 when I was considering purchasing his Korg keyboard (which I didn't do, as I was facing surgery plus 6 week recovery at the time), so was just wondering if anyone has heard from him.
Also, haven't heard from Russell DeMussel, the 3rd most prolific poster with 14,391 posts, and last logged onto the forum this month, but hasn't posted anything since May 2016.
I hope all are doing well, even if we don't get a chance to interact with them in our virtual community here.

If I recall, Russ said he likes flying RCC stuff and has been spending a lot of time with that.
He shows up on occasion.. private message here, a post there .. far as I know he's alright.

Gary had a job change and I think it involved a move, and he just got too busy. I don't know any more.

Gary was a very generous "sharer" of his knowledge on this forum. I had a pm from him back in 2015 regarding an equipment set up. At that time he was commenting that he would be off the forum due to pursuing his other interest of RCC flying. Mac was another who had a wide range of musical and technical knowledge. He gave me some excellent advice in Changing out a piezo pickup for a transducer type pickup on my acoustic guitar. Sure do miss those two guys contributions and hope they are doing well. DennisD

I do miss interacting with the aforementioned on this forum. I hope they are all doing well. I learned a lot from them and rharv back in the mid to late 90's when I joined up here. Weird to think it's been 20 years! The forum says I joined in 02 but I thought for sure it was about 96 when I joined. Maybe not. I'm old.

Scott, the forum software was changed in the summer of 2000. All the post counts of those of us who were here before that time were reset to zero, and the date Registered that you see today is the date you joined the 'new' forum.

I get Russell posts on FB from time to time. He is indeed flying RC planes.
I asked about Mac a few months ago, nobody responded.
It's like a family here, and when somebody doesn't show up for a long time, many of us get concerned.
I do hope they are all OK.

Wow what a real pro Mac is, never though he was up there with the best of them to that extent. We should feel thankful that he ever came on the forums at all, such as the standard of musicianship he had and the hectic schedule. Thanks for letting us know Bob Musiclover

Actually, Marshall is Mac's little brother. Mac's first name is Clark.

Right, and Mac plays trumpet. His brother plays sax.
Mac told a story about his experience with a conductor that only another first chair trumpet player could fully appreciate, but it was screamingly funny.

Marshall is Mac's brother, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is gigging with Marshall.

I think Gary has posted a few times in last few years, once after John Conley died, and a few times around the annual biab sale. Another name that we could add to the list of prolific posters that no longer do so, is John (silvertones?) Since we are talking about people that no longer post, I thought that it would be a nice thought too of thinking of the people that no longer will post, John Conley, Howard, Wiensam. And lets include a thought for all the members on here that have posted too when they have lost a dear one or partner, and shared their pain with us all. Musiclover

Don't forget Ian Frazer in your list of those who can no longer post.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Another one we haven't heard from for a long time is Mick Emery. He played an electronic sax (from memory) due to a breathing issue that he had. Synthaphone?? or something like that.
Anyone heard from him?
Cheers,
Keith
