It's been quite a while since he's posted and his phone does not take messages. Starting to worry.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-21-2018 03:04 PM                     My last communication with John was an email exchange March of 2016. Have you tried emailing him?  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 04-21-2018 03:53 PM                       Actually thats the only thing I don't have. He never answered them anyway. He usually comes out to see us in El Cerrito at least a couple of times a year.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-21-2018 04:29 PM                     I sent his email address to you via private message. Good luck!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-27-2018 06:06 PM                     Sam, any possible chance, please PM me his Ph No, for I had it at one time, but had a do a total phone cleanup where I lost all my contacts, including his. I was in the Twin Falls area last week, but didn't get a chance to swing down into Wendell to check up with John. thx a bunch Monte  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-30-2018 11:34 AM                        Has anyone been successful contacting John? Upon Googling I found an obituary for someone by that name but don't think it's "our" John.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-01-2018 02:11 PM                     I did talk to the mgr of the Twin Falls theatre that knows John and he tells me that he sees his car at the front of the occupation where he works at now. Thus, he's still with us.  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 05-01-2018 07:15 PM                       That's great news. I wonder where he's working these days.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-01-2018 07:36 PM                     I think he is repairing Cement Trucks. At least last I heard he was...  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-01-2018 08:27 PM                        He was definitely doing something to do with trucks, last I heard. I wonder if he ever sold the theater in Wendell, ID?  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-02-2018 03:49 AM                     No, he still have the ACE. That's his pride and joy.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-13-2018 03:36 PM                     Update: made contact with John. He is doing good, but had some rough times. I told him of the members concerns that he is missed here on this forum and was wondering about him.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-13-2018 05:59 PM                        Thanks, Monte--good to hear that he is OK. Other than maybe a small equipment purchase or two, I don't think that I have had any interactions with him, but I do miss his posts here.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-13-2018 10:44 PM                     2nd Update: I finished up with John this evening via text and he wanted he to tell you guys “thank you for the concerns.” He’s having some health issues with heart and kidneys, plus his eyesight is gradually failing due to AMD. Thus, he has no internet since October, which is why he hasn’t been on FT. His phone service has been touchy also, why I get his voice message and now can text. He’s still doing cement business in Wendell, but can’t drive due to his eyesight. The shop keeps him busy inside so he can keep on insurances. What’s going on for now. Thx. Monte  |  IP: Logged
