Quote from: Symphonic Addict on April 26, 2024, 10:38:27 AMI've been talking to John (Mirror Image) on the another forum and he asked me to tell @kyjo and @vandermolen that he missed them and hopes they are doing well.

Thanks for letting us know, Cesar - I miss talking with John as well.

I remember the Sarge's warmth when I re-emerged after my stroke, especially, so I am for him. As we all are, in sooth.

It would be neat if he reconsidered and came back despite some differences with other members.

I recall that in recent years the Sarge's participation has been intermittent, and I think I recall him commenting that he found himself listing to a lot less classical music than he used to. I also seem to recall the Sarge revealing that he had been treated for a heart aliment. I wish him the best, and nothing here would make me happier to seeing the Sarge resume a high level of participation.

Thanks Cesar - can you please let him know that I miss his presence here as well.
Thanks

Aren't we all forgetting how much havoc he created and how many people on GMG were victims of his behaviour. Does anyone remember the fights and arguments? So I may be a lonely voice, but I rather not see him back, if you don't mind. So stone me now!

What's 'Fu'?
Personally I experienced great generosity from him, although I know that was not everyone's experience. These online forums can bring out the best and worst in people but as far as John (MI) is concerned I am writing from my own experience with him.(too many 'experiences' in this message!

Sorry Fu, a slip of keys.

Yes, as a fellow septuagenarian I hope he is doing well!

I am still out in the American West, for our long-desired tour of national parks (Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Yosemite, and several others), our 45th-wedding anniversary present to ourselves.

Felix Unger.

It took me two days to realize in the note "we're out of cornflakes --FU" that the FU stood for Felix Unger!

I remember the TV sitcom with Tony Randall & Jack Klugman. It's high time I saw the movie!
