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.

Keefer · March 23, 2020, 08:23:42 PM

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

Doc Nock · March 23, 2020, 09:15:27 PM

Since I don't do FB, I lost touch but it's great to hear he's still kickin...

Thanks for checking Keith!

Yup...2008 or 2009

Keefer · March 26, 2020, 07:06:40 AM

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 ?

Doc Nock · March 26, 2020, 09:19:57 AM

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.

Doc Nock · March 31, 2020, 03:08:50 PM

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

Killdeer · January 18, 2021, 10:08:36 AM

I might have taken that pic. It was 2006.

Doc Nock · January 18, 2021, 12:34:59 PM

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...

hawkeye n pa · January 20, 2021, 07:43:23 AM

Very nice seeing those pictures! Hadn't seen Bernie for some time.

Killdeer · January 24, 2021, 06:52:27 PM

Hard to put a date on those, he wore the same thing every dang year!

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!

Tony Van Dort · January 25, 2021, 03:13:15 PM

Thank you Killdeer...
That pic does me a world of good!
Bernie is the best there is!

Killdeer · February 05, 2021, 08:53:33 PM

Check out his FB page, he has some good news!
