Worried about everyone here.......

[Hurricane Jack]

Do you remember his last name? Could it be Post?

Arnold.

Arnold.

Thank you!

Same goes for Ed, @Desert dog??

I’ve reached out to Ed a couple times as well with no response. Good ole boy for sure. I can’t remember his last name now though. But hell I can’t remember my own name or my kids names sometimes.

Indeed he is a good old soul.
He is the master at long haired westerns and his presentation of western crowns was impeccable.
He and @Hurricane Jack’s western presentations still are the pinnacle to strive for in my eyes in westerns.

I lost his mailing address long ago.
Still trying to locate him and hoping he is well.
Let us know if you find out anything.

Thank you, Bowen! It’s something I take pride in so your compliment means a lot!

Yes Hartwell, I remembered he was in Barstow. Lots of cool antique relics in his yard.
I’ll certainly share any info if I contact him.

Damn!! You have sorcerer type magical powers or maybe you’re a secret agent posing as a fedora aficionado.

 

[DaveProc]

This is my best guess for Michael A the age range fits and everyone else with the same name and similar residences I have found do not fall into the sane age group

Not magic, I'm a historical researcher, genealogist, and I worked in Declassification at the JFK Presidential Library, before my current job, managing the historic and project records for the Rhode Island Department of Transportation. I specialize in recognizing patterns, finding thing where they aren't supposed to be or when no one else can find them. And I'm pretty good at it

I would agree, you’re pretty good at it!

Thank you! I really enjoy the challenge.

That’s exactly where I traced him to. He posted once that he & his sister jointly own the family farm there. I figured he may be living either with family or near family.

How about Man of Kent, and The Dane? I haven't from either of those two in a long time. And Dogman. Haven't heard from him in a long while either.

Yes, Ed’s ability to shape Akubras and modern(ish) westerns was second to none. He could make a Campdraft with a cattleman’s crease look like it was a factory shape…but better.

Chuck's (@DOGMAN) kennel is still open in Cuyahoga Falls, so I assume he and the missus are still humming along.

I speak with Ole [The Dane] on FB often, he is well. He recently welcomed a new grandchild.

Thanks Rusty. It's been a couple of years since I was on FB. I talked to him all the time when I was on it. I mostly hang out on Twitter and Instagram now. I was wondering how he was getting along. I miss seeing him on the Lounge. He knew more about hat making than he led on. I learned some good stuff from him. I'm glad he's doing well and I bet he's enjoying that grandbaby. If you talk to him again on FB tell him I said hi and for him to check in with us here on the Lounge every now and then.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

@ETBass ?

 

[Robieman]

Whatever happened to Rumad @Rumad & Robie @Robieman ?

Here I am!! I figured I had way more hats than I needed and kinda drifted away from this forum. That may not be a good reason but I also kinda lost interest. Jumped on today cause it had been so long. Thought I’d see what I might have been missing.
Thanks for thinking about me.
