I was wondering if anyone know's of Rui's status? This is unlike him to be off the boards for this long and not let anyone know he'd be away for an extended period. Anyone else have back-channel commo with him? I've his e-mail, but he only has access to it at work. I hate to bother him there. Anyone in Lisbon who can check on him?

Getting concerned

I have his phone numbers, both a cell and home phone. If anyone lives in Portugal who could call him to make sure he's ok....

I said he lived in Lisbon, that's not correct. I think I was thinking of Jim. Hell! it's not even the right country


I hope he's ok too

He has been missing a long time. His last post was in the community forums. Could it be they may have an idea? His posting seemed to be about a model show May 13 - 15th. I hope all is ok.

I do as well. He had told me that he was a bit under the gun with a project at work, but still.....

Sorry to seem like a mother hen guys, but with what seems to be a wave of health issues here, when someone is absent for such a long period of time, I worry.

I sent an e-mail to his work e-mail just in case.

Steve
In Tornado Alley today.

Hi all!

Sorry for this "missing in action" situation, but as I had already said to some of you, I was sent to a project where I had no access to internet or my own mail...

This was a real "secret" project, I was informed the day before and had no chance to inform you guys!

Sorry for all your worries - but "bad news travel fast", which was not the case!!

I am glad to be back!

Skipper
