Title: Hello from Dick Peairs
Post by: krissel on February 20, 2017, 02:25:19 AM
Called Dick a few days ago to wish him a Happy Birthday and we had a nice chat.

I promised to pass on his regards to "anyone who might remember the old guy". I assured him that there were many at TS who not only remembered but who thought of him frequently and fondly. We owe him a lot.   notworthy.gif

I had the honor of meeting Dick at the Ohio gathering a few years back. Great guy! We do, indeed, owe him a lot for helping to get TS underway. Wishing him well.

My best to you also, Dick.

Sure wish we could have another Ohio gathering of TS folk.

We remember Dick well.

We've always been most grateful for his help when we visited the west coast in 2001. Please wish him well for Caroline and myself.

have just spent the last half hour talking to Dick ( which I do at least once a fortnight) on subjects ranging from US politics to his granddaughters wedding in July. His speech may rather slow but his mental capacity is still reasonably sharp, I passed on the good wishes of TS which he much appreciated.

Hi...Just stopped in to see if the place that taught me 'puters was still active.

Say hey to Richard for me also.

Had a 45 minute talk with Dick yesterday. He is his usual witty and generous self despite his physical problems. He said he is planning on moving to an assisted living arrangement in the near future which may provide more amenities for him. He has 24/7 help now but I would imagine being in a setting where he could communicate regularly with others might be more stimulating for him.

He asked about TS of course and sends his best to all the old-timers and regulars.

Hey, Dick, did you finally scare away those hawks from your backyard?! I think I remember you created a 'scare-crow' with a full-sized image of yourself! laughhard.gif Come on back when you can, we still need your humor and poetry!

Hope you have a great, happy and merry Christmas with all your Children and Grands! salute.gif

Behave yourself!! toothgrin.gif

Wow - glad to hear that you talked to Dick the other day, Kris! I hadn't checked on this side of the forums for a while - so hadn't seen this thread somehow. Oops. Anyway - give him my best when you talk to him again! Does he still do email?

He hasn't been able to use email by himself but he did say something to the effect that he may be getting some help in the computer area soon. He also said he may see if he could get someone to help him go online and visit TS which would be great.

In any case, I am going to print out this thread in a few days and send it to him. He did ask about several TSers (including you) and I assured him that we were all thinking of him and wishing him the best. smile.gif
