What Happened to Thomas of New Hampshire

JOR_EL · Jul 5, 2001

Everybody,

Just want to weigh-in as another member who appreciates the genuine concern and caring evidenced by the fine people who gather here.

I, too, have missed/been curious about Thomas.

Also had mixed emotions about the attempted contact, so won't vote on the "appropriateness" issue. But for-sure, all the hearts are in the "right place". And that puts me one "warm fuzzy" closer to the group-hug idea (FIGURATIVELY speaking, of course /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif )!

Hope all is well with our missing "family member"!

Re: Didn\'t find him, but...

Pete and John, not only do you guys deserve the good guy awards, but you also both deserve the diplomacy awards. I don't think this situation could have been handled any better than you guys did!!! Nice work!!! TBN is more of a family than many real families are!!! I'm proud to be a member with guys like Pete and John!!!

I recalled Thomas sending me a private mail late last summer asking for info about Nashua NH... I *think* I remember him mentioning something about having a baby on the way, but I didn't save the mail... I also had a vague memory of him posting something to that effect as well - I did a search and found a post he made on 8/19/00 in the "Off Topic" forum. I don't know how to post a link but I do know how to cut and paste:

Jim,
If we should have a girl than I guess the Kubota stays since its the closes color to pink.
If the baby should be a boy I guess I might have to trade for a New Holland,oh I guess I have alot to learn
when it comes to being a father.

Hope you having a grand time w/ your new purchase.
Have a pleasant weekend and stay safe and

Thomas..NH

I did a little math and this spring would have been about 9 months... Maybe he's still trying to recover from having his life turned upside down. My son is two and I'm still wondering what happened - guess its comes as part of the deal! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bill,

Thanks for digging-up the old post from Thomas.

Sounds like the most likely explanation for his absence. Anyone who's had kids can relate thim being too-busy to BS with us for a while. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

I just hope its the normal "overhead" associated with a new baby and not something more serious...

It's been about three weeks and I've heard absolutely nothing from or about Thomas. Has anybody else been contacted?

Could it be something as simple as his computer broke down or maybe he no longer has internet access or he sold the computer, etc.....?

Well, he certainly has gotten Peter's hand-delivered messages and must have gotten the phone calls. We can only assume at this point that he has chosen, for whatever reasons, to remain silent. We can wonder, but I dont think there is anything else we can or should do.
