Hey Dennis,

He was just in here on Friday to remind folks about his FP class he'll be doing here in CO in May. I suspect he's on the road since his company has him on increased travel these days. idunno

Thanks, Bill.

By "in here" do you mean here in the OLF forum? The forum software says: Last visited: 24 Mar 2010 13:09

I need to get hold of him, and I'm coming up empty.

Dennis

Dennis...I've been trying to reach him also for weeks. Several PMs have gone unanswered.

As I recall, he is traveling more with his day job. He may be out of the country. He didn't say he'd be gone, but I suppose we didn't ask!

Well, I certainly hope he's in good health. Since I regularly correspond with luthiers and other non-luthier friends literally around the world, including on off-shore oil rigs, and got a phone call from the top of a mountain in Vail Colorado the other day, it does make me worry when someone who had previously been "wired into the grid" is unreachable.

If anyone is close enough to drop in on Michael, maybe do so and make sure he's OK.

Thanks!

Dennis

Seems he was in China once before, and had little or no access while there.

I'm with Waddy that he's likely in China. When I went to lunch with him last year he told me he was going to be on the forum a lot less and build less as well due to increased travels abroad. Especially China. Robbie just confirmed yesterday in another forum that Michael will be here in CO next month for the FP classes he's putting on. I trust all's well with him. [:Y:]

I just talked with Michael last week and he was doing well. He has been extremely busy at work. I expect he'll be back online soon... Hopefully :-)
