If it's the conference with many videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@hpcalc/videos Then you could ask Eric as I see him giving a presentation. Or watch all the videos and see if you can spot anyone. On Sun, Apr 7, 2024 at 10:54 PM Sellam Abraham via cctalk wrote: > > Hi Tony. > > Thank you for the note. > > Is there any way to confirm this?

Hi Tony. Thank you for the note. Is there any way to confirm this? Many people have been seeking out Joe and when I tell them I'm told he was spotted alive last year there are going to be many questions, and many people wanting to attempt to reach him. More than a few people are very concerned about him as they enjoyed varying relationships with him but none have heard from him for 5+ years. Thank you.

I want to say that Dave was in the same general area as Joe when he lived in Florida. Other people I’d love to know how their doing would be James Willing, Allison Parent, and Megan Gentry. Zane

I was in touch with John Lawson up until around 2013-2014 when he stopped responding to my calls/texts/emails (which could have been for several reasons). I only thought of Joe recently out of the blue and thought I'd see if he was still around. Jay West (in the ClassicCmp Discord server) said he was friends with Joe and hosted his website and used to communicate with him regularly but then stopped hearing from him at some point, and as of 5 years ago he and others made a concerted effort to locate him to no avail. So this is a last ditch effort on my own part to find them before I figure it's time for eulogies. Sellam

It looks like Joe was last on the list in November 2006, at that time he was still using the rr.com email address. Sadly I don’t know how to reach either of them. Eric Smith apparently had Joe’s phone number in 2011, I don’t know if he spoke to him at that time. Zane
[cctalk] Re: Seeking out Joe Rigdon / John Lawson
Hi Chris. It's been quite a while. Those are the numbers I have for John last as well. He stopped responding to me over 10 years ago but I'm not sure if that was because he was tired of me or just tired (I was going through a phase myself and pissed off some friends inadvertently). But around that time for a couple years I would periodically reach out via text and maybe a phone call but he never responded. So I'm not sure if he passed or not because he wasn't in the greatest health but he lost a bunch of weight the last time I saw him and was looking pretty good. But that was 10 years ago and he wasn't that young then. However, I find no obituaries, but then there's no guarantee he didn't move somewhere else in the meantime. Anyway, I hope you've been well.

[cctalk] Seeking out Joe Rigdon / John Lawson
Has anyone communicated with or know a way to communicate with Joe Rigdon out of Florida? Most here should know him as an old-school ClassicCmp veteran. If anyone has any information at all on the whereabouts of Joe Rigdon, and for that matter John Lawson, please either reply here or to me privately as appropriate. Thank you. Sellam
RE: Joe Rigdon
I keep his pages online as he had a pretty huge amount of info and pictures. On more than one occasion over the years I have tried to locate him, and posted on the list about it. There have been no positive responses J
Joe Rigdon
I see that Joe Rigdon's old WWW pages are still on http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/joespage.htm, but the email address doesn't work. The RICM is interested in the ECRM Omnibus boards that he had. Anyone have current contact information? -- Michael Thompson
Re: Pinging Joe Rigdon
Yo, When I lived in Florida, I would see Joe several times a year. Since I moved 10 years ago, we have lost contact. His wife Sherry, daughter Amy, and Son Adam, do have facebook profiles. Just do a search for "Rigdon Oviedo" (Florida) and you can find some links to those family members but nothing for Joe. I got a feeling something bad must have happened to Joe :-( There is a name I haven’t heard in a *LONG* time. Zane -- Steve Robertson stee...@ccvn.com
