It has been awhile since we heard from our good friend Richard S. I hope that he is healing well. Grief takes much longer to heal than surgery. Has anyone heard from him? Hopefully, he'll read this and give us all an update on himself. He has been missed. Maybe now that the original flavor of this fine Forum has returned, Richard will also.

He is around as he made a post here just last month. I remembered seeing it, but had to go back and find it.

He was a regular when I was lurking (pre-pup purchase) as well as when I became a member and owner. I miss seeing him around...

Richard is a good friend whom I regret never yet meeting in person. I hope he is well.

I just talked to him and he will probably reemerge here in the near future.

Richard and I stay in touch....he’s still healing but strong.

My dear friends, I was deeply touched to find this thread. Thank you for your concern.
In a few days it will be two years since my beloved Joyce died due to complications from what was to have been a routine out-patient surgical procedure but one that went horribly wrong. Since then I have been living more or less as a recluse here in the mountain cabin I call “Critter Creek.”
I am slowly emerging from self-imposed isolation. One thing I have learned is that the stages of profound grief are not linear.
I still use my venerable and highly valued R9 132 in its Hedley holster for EDC. It sports a set of black carbon fiber grips initialed on the underside by Eric and is fed a diet of 24-grain JHP Gold Dots.
I have a lot of catching up to do on the Forum, but to all of my friends here, thank you. “I’m back.”

What a welcome change of tone on the forum this week that just happened to coincide with Richard's return.

Welcome back!

If I get time off from my new ventures Richard, I would love to come by and stay for a few days again if my upstairs flat is ready for me. lol.

Thank you, Duane. The last trip Joyce and I made was to take a cruise ship out of Tampa. Our flight was delayed and we barely made it to the ship before it left the dock. I wish there had been time to swing by to see you. I know you would have enjoyed meeting my beautiful little Tennessee Judge.

Thank you, Tracker. I was thinking of you as I watched this year’s Army-Navy game. And I was turning blue holding my breath at the end. Navy’s place kicker would have made that last-minute field goal in better weather.

Thank you for your concern, my friend. It is good to be back in the Forum again. I hope all is well in the world of “Cargaritaville.”

Thank you, Will! I just happened to check the Forum and saw that post on past “BFs.” I’ve certainly had my share - but, thankfully, not the same one twice.

No doubt! Hopefully there will be a time we can get together. Glad to have you back in the forum to catch up. :D

Hmmmmm . . . . . . Perhaps we can put together "A Gathering" so we can all get together for a day or so of camaraderie in a southern locale?
Perhaps somewhere near Richard's location in eastern Tennessee?
A nice hotel somewhere?
I would love that! I may even be able to needle Karl to come with me.
What say you good folks!?
Hmmmmmm . . . . . . . . . ?
..... Well, I'm putting it out there anyway. I would love to do this!

Eric, that sounds like a great idea! The Great Smoky Mountains and the National Park have some spectacularly beautiful places to visit.

My original username Po-Pee was from RJ's Holster website. Po-Pee was the name of the character he painted on his hand to make his hand a hand puppet. That was 13 years ago and didn't have the same ring to it after awhile, so I changed my username. His pocket holster is still my EDC.

Richard!!
It is so good to see your posts!! Outstanding actually!!
I've missed you on the forum my friend and hope to see you more often. It'll give me a better excuse to return more often myself!
All the best.

Yes, Phil, I remember RJ’s hand puppet, “Po-Pee.” As you know, his daughter Lisa is now carrying on his tradition of making the finest holsters. I have three of hers and you cannot tell the difference between her work and that of her father. RJ taught her well!

Brendan!! How are you my friend? It is so good to hear from you again!
I seem to recall a wonderful photograph you posted a few years ago of your young granddaughter on her first deer hunt. I hope all is well with you and yours!
