The server does not load the forum or any of the domain since Saturday, so I am guessing Ricky Lee's family has let it all fade away.
I'll miss some of the characters. It has me wondering who would curate the Vostok Submarine Museum after I go?

Forum funding died with Ricky.. I'm looking at options (such as the freeboards used here) to resurrect it.. Stay tuned.. Harold

![](https://watchmandan.com/wfwf/news.gif) Here I am, back on this forum after a long awol. Hello to any that remember me. I occasionally see John Lind on Facebook. I hated hearing of Ricky Lee's passing. Cancer is a bitch. I've had a couple of surgeries and 35 radiation treatments to my jaw. Immunotherapy is on the horizon. I hope there are a few that remember me. A few years ago I bought an Apple watch and went over to the dark side for a while. Lately I've pulled out some of my "real" watches and am rediscovering their appeal.

I have a print called "WIS Moon Over Calgary" framed and hanging in my watch alcove. By Harold Clitheroe. I sneaked a peak at your info, and your email address seems to fit. I lost so many people over the years.

Nobody knows why I'm still alive, and I guess it's good.
