Has anyone heard from Bernard. He was always active in the St. Jude forum,and haven't seen him in a while. I think he had cancer,and he goes by ber643. I was just wondering how he was doing,if any of you know him?
Guys on the TGMM group were chipping in to get him a new computer but I'd not seen Bernie either and Sent him several UNanswered emails after his beloved bride died...
I too wonder how he is doing, or if he's still kicking...
I'll check with my buddyLee Hoots I think he may know him but not 100% certain so check back and I'll let ya know what a I find out.
Ok I texted Lee Who checked his face book page and he's been out going to flea markets on weekends .
He's still around praise the Lord :pray:
Since I don't do FB, I lost touch but it's great to hear he's still kickin... :) :thumbsup:
Thanks for checking Keith!
Oh I'm glad to hear that! I've always liked his enthusiasm. Thanks guys.
Yup, Bernie always had a positive outlook about him... [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ] Bernie to the far left, me, tim Kane and a guy who went by the handle of Neon butterfly... That was in 2008/0r 2009

Doc,
Was that picture taken at Baltimore?
Yup...2008 or 2009
I know exactly where that picture was taken standing close to that big tree behind the food building where the field/targets are.
Am I correct on that?
I have a picture of some friends I took a few years ago standing in the same place.
They haven't called it yet but it may be cancelled this year and I have been looking forward to it noit for the shooting but the friends who are like minded and we share a bond .
Its good medicine for the soul isn't it brother ? :archer:
Keith,
you're asking me where that was taken in 2009 or 2008? Seriously? I don't know!!! I"d have guessed it was nearer where we camped, but it could have easily been when we came out of the course on the left side (coming into the shoot).
I liked B'mo, shoot... Got sorta messy a few times, especially that year Hunger Games came out as there were people everywhere and they just kept rakin in the moola...Kinda a zoo being 10 groups waiting at each target on all the courses for 10 targets or more...
Toward the end, I started going to Standing Stone shoot, but when the organizer died as a young man, it went bye-bye as like most clubs, few do the work of many. :(:( Now it's a very, very long drive to any trad shoot and as you say, most likely this year they'll be cancelled..I heard that Whit was closed already...more to follow!
From Bernie this morning:
"So far, so good, Bud. Doing my best to stay at home other than an occasional use of a drive through , and going out for groceries to fix in my air fryer. It is boring but I have friends checking on me (by phone). Mostly watching all those western movies on tv - LOL Hope all of my friends and family are doing their best to follow the guidelines set up also. Remember - THE SOONER - THE QUICKER!"
I shared your pic with him, Doc. No response yet.
Thanks, Bud B,
I never had his phone #, so email was all I ever had and we used to stay in touch till Rose passed...
Good to hear hes doing well as can be in this mess
I might have taken that pic. It was 2006.

You could be correct, Killy Dear, on that date, but in my pic file I'd saved it in 2008-2009 so who knows???
I can't remember what I had for breakfast, or IF anymore.... or as that one joke says, "Hey, I went into a room and remembered why! It WAS the bathroom, ... but still!! :):)
Your picture of Bernie is far more captivating and I thank you for sharing that one! I miss so many of you but times change...
Very nice seeing those pictures! Hadn't seen Bernie for some time.
Hard to put a date on those, he wore the same thing every dang year! :biglaugh:

Doesn't matter the date, really, now does it...Bernie is Bernie... One year he came up with a younger buck and another year with an older chap that was into some interesting home-made "hooch"....
I am just tickled to see him here since I no longer can reach him via email like before his bride passed...
Thanks again, Gal for your picture with the both of your grinning mugs! :) :clapper:
Thank you Killdeer...
That pic does me a world of good!
Bernie is the best there is!
:archer:
Check out his FB page, he has some good news!
:archer:
And yes, I HATE fb!! :banghead:
Won't you tell? I don't do Facebook or any social media stuff...
That is your choice, Doc. I suffer through fb to see what my friends are up to. And, uh, THIS is social media.
Ha! Gotcha! :biglaugh:
You win, I guess...
I don't tweet, Twitter or FB,
I figure I have email and am on a few sites (very few) and a phone and text...if anyone wants to communicate with me they can...if not so it goes...
I'm with you! Tweets are for twits!
So, Bernie is off the PIC, AND HAS BEEN SPOTTED SCARFING DOWN A PIECE OF PIZZA. HE ALSO RELEASED A VIDEO OF HIMSELF LAUNCHING AN ARROW! :jumper:
Sorry about the caps lock.
Shhh. :wavey:
:biglaugh:
no problemo on CAPs.. :bigsmyl:
I'll have to go without seeing him stuffing his maw or shooting his bow
