I did not find him charming but he went way out of his way to help me with my computer and scanner. Many times. Even contacting the British manufacturer of the scanner because I was so frustrated. He also took beautiful photos of the English countryside that I enjoyed very much. He and I emailed occasionally for years. I last heard from him about a year ago. He had been doing a lot of website design.

Bonnie, I have spoken with Jane recently. She has been given the link here.

John is actually one of the old timers that I miss.... he was quite knowledgeable when it came to filtration, water quality, etc.

LeeAnne, I think I've told you before but please tell Jane that I miss her. :'( Her pond was one of the prettiest and she was an awesome lady!

Bran showed up on a koi forum a year or so ago.. maybe NI or KB?? Gonna have to see if he's still there.....

BTW, Sean do you have the old memberships of AP? There was a gentleman, Scott, which only posted 1-2 times which I was corresponding and trading with and lost my PM's when the forum got hacked.
He was from Hilo, HI
I've got his addy but not his email addy, I guess I could always send him a note.

Hi Bonnie,

I have sent you a PM with Scott's email address.

Cheers,
Sean

I've read most of this thread but Shae has been MIA for a long time. I haven't talked to her in a few months. Miss a lot of those listed.

Bonnie · « **Reply #33 on:** February 27, 2007, 08:53:48 PM »

Thank you Sean.. I'll be sure and tell him to join us again! He hadn't been a member long before we were hacked......

OMG... Jen I'm so glad that you mentioned Shae! Has she been back since the forum went down??
Hopefully she's just taking a winter break like some do....

Glad to see you.

Hey,

I forgot how nice you folks could be!

I've been out here on my own special island, lying in the hammock, sippin' on cool ones, strumming my guitar, and waiting for you all! Weren't you guys supposed to meet me here? Where have you been?!?!?!

Life is good and hope it is for you, as well.

Eric

I tried to make it to the island, but got lost in a bad storm . . . . still lookin' for the world's greatest margarita~!

Welcome back old friend! Stick around and help keep things interesting!!!

Kaz is living it up at the minute. You can probably track her on http://the-horsfalls.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=614

Sean · « **Reply #41 on:** March 01, 2007, 03:15:24 PM »

I know the original deal on the sale of Kazzie's business fell through due to the purchaser gouging her, but did she find someone else to sell the business to or is she still the owner?

Nice to hear she is doing well at the boot camp in Spain.

Cheers,
Sean

seanmckinney · « **Reply #42 on:** March 13, 2007, 08:35:54 AM »

Sean sorry I dont know what happened beyond that.

Esther · « **Reply #43 on:** March 13, 2007, 10:11:44 AM »

Sean, I went to that forum and read a bit and then went snooping on their member list. Wasn't Whis4(K)ey a member at AWGS at some point? Here's a link. http://fujiyamagarden.com/

seanmckinney · « **Reply #44 on:** March 13, 2007, 10:27:51 AM »

I can't remember be he has been or is on quite a few boards

Jerry · « **Reply #45 on:** March 13, 2007, 10:32:32 AM »

I was there as "kayak Kid."

Esther · « **Reply #46 on:** March 13, 2007, 02:18:19 PM »

Yah, all along I thought Jerry was about 22 years old.

By the way, I emailed Whiskey and told him about AP.

emm · « **Reply #47 on:** March 14, 2007, 06:37:19 AM »

Hi Esther, Whisky has posted several photos here, on the terrestrial gardening section I think. emm

Esther · « **Reply #48 on:** March 14, 2007, 06:54:16 AM »

Guess that shows I haven't gone there.

I looked at the member list just now and sure enough, there he was.

Lorraine · « **Reply #49 on:** March 16, 2007, 06:32:21 AM »

Wow, my name is there(Lorraine Kimble) I remember a few names also,Frogger Lee, Steve Johnson, Mr. John Disdale,Reedman etc. If I remember Steve lived in Colorado,wonder how he is doing? And Mr. Disdale haven't read anything from him either,gosh it has been quite a few hasn't it. Shame the old forum ended the way it did. But onward to bigger and better.

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #50 on:** March 16, 2007, 05:37:36 PM »

I heard from John Disdale in April 06, I think I forgot to write back. Oops.
He had been busy working on a website for someone and was sorry he said yes.

I don't know if Steve Johnson ever joined this forum.

Reedman is a member.

I remember a Mike (?) that had a handle that was something to do with mountain men, had a great pond, lived in Southern CA, I have a picture of his waterfall printed out in a file. Wonder what he is up to?

Wonder what is up with Deb from Rochester NY?

Limolady from NYC?

There was another gal, can't remember her handle, joined and really got into the forum, posted a ton and then just disappeared. Anyone know? Maybe a Bonnie? Can't remember.

I wish people would say goodbye if they are leaving for whatever reason.....

Esther · « **Reply #51 on:** March 16, 2007, 05:53:37 PM »

Leeanne, do you mean the gal from Chicagoburbs? She asked every question possible at least once if not twice.

Hi Esther, You are thinking of Lisa. I learned a lot from the questions she asked. I enjoyed her input. emm

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #53 on:** March 17, 2007, 12:33:04 PM »

Actually, no, I wasn't thinking of Lisa but now that you mention her, where did she go?

Jerry · « **Reply #54 on:** March 17, 2007, 04:03:35 PM »

Websites remind me of gyms and health clubs. Why? Well you meet and become friendly with nice people and then they vanish for whatever reason, never to be seen again :'( :'(

Sandye · « **Reply #55 on:** March 21, 2007, 11:32:58 PM »

I'm back...maybe lurking more than chatting, but at least I'm here.

I registered on American Ponders once before, but apparently that was lost when the forum was hacked.

I'm glad to see a lot of familiar faces. I've missed you guys & gals.

Is anyone else as ready for Spring as I am?

Esther · « **Reply #56 on:** March 22, 2007, 07:16:40 AM »

Yup, it was Lisa I was thinking of. She and I joined AWGS about the same time and built our first ponds then too. She disappeared a long time ago. Wonder what happened to her and her pond.

Sonny · « **Reply #57 on:** March 22, 2007, 11:25:48 AM »

I'm not on the list either but I remember many/most of the names. AWGS was the first place I found when I decided I wanted a pond. Don't remember the year exactly (2000 or 2001 I guess). Back then I was Jimbo. I wasn't the most active poster though.

Joyce · « **Reply #58 on:** March 22, 2007, 04:49:04 PM »

Hi Jim!

Hi Jim!

Hi Joyce! :waving hello thingy

Back in the AWGS days you were my garden inspiration. I remember a thread you started (I'm pretty sure it was you but if it wasn't you contributed much to it) about roses. You posted pictures of some of the most beautiful roses! And, in response, I believe it was Marilyn C who eventually posted about a book called In Search Of Lost Roses. I really enjoyed that book and planted some antique roses as a result. My 'Celine Forrestier' is about to go gang busters!

Then there were the orchids...

Hope all is well and you're feeling fine.
