I havnā€™t got an email yet today. I have a new phone number for **Dropzone** , Iā€™m gonna call him sometime today and get a first person report. I knew **Inigoā€™s** wife was ill. I wasnā€™t aware he hadnā€™t posted in so long. Does anyone have contact with him? I havnā€™t seen **Burpo** post in a few days either. I worry and fret. Itā€™s who I am. ---

**Burpo** might not be posting, but he checked in a couple of days ago. And if anyoneā€™s worrying about **begbert2** , heā€™s just less interested in Doping while heā€™s working from home. Heā€™ll be back sometime. I am also one who worries and frets. šŸ˜ƒ ---

I have just had a conversation with **Dropzone** , he says, and I quote: ā€œIā€™m not dead yet!ā€ I told him I started a thread about him. He was dubious about that. He sounded good, if a little weak. He was very surprised I had a number for where he is. Iā€™m sneaky like that :eek: I was pleased, all in all, about the call. I feel better about him. I really do. ---
