Has anyone heard from Mike G?
He has not posted since 10 June, nor has he replied to a PM from me.
I am concerned about him.
-
Did you try fotozones, Viv? His health,... he is like 75 isnt he?

Fons,
He has not posted on Fotozones since 10 June either.
He is 74 and has some health problems which I will not detail here. But they would make him easy prey to Covid-19.
I am very concerned.

I understand i share your concern; he has a daughter but i have no details.
-
Perhaps the admin here could send him an email relating our concern for his well being.
-
Yep...
-
People on another site that Mike sometimes frequents are also trying to track him down.
A thought:
With an eye to the future, and a realisation that many of us are at or past retirement age, it might not be a bad idea if an emergency phone number or email address of a contact person could be securely stored by the site administrators for occasions such as trying to track members/supporters/participants down. With cyber frienships and relationships it becomes hard if someone has an extended illness (or even a death) to know what has happened if there is no practical way of contacting them or a contact person.

Dear NG,
I am not an expert on this topic but there might be some data protection concerns as to storing personal data of 3rd parties that are to be contacted in case we miss someone.
What i do know is that when you send a personal message on NG, an automated notification/email is generated and send to the recipient.
At the moment I don't see what else NG can do to reach Mike G.
I certainly hope that Mike G is healthy and that he will reappear in the near future.
Yours, Jakov
-
If everything else fails send a letter to his home address. His home address can be deduced from some of the pictures Mike posted here in combination with Google Maps.
-
Yes - I totally agree; there would certainly need to be the appropriate signed authorisations from both the NG participants and their named contacts.

Mike, I can't think of better words than Akira's. Thank you for your contributions here and for being a part of this community.

Hi Mike really sorry to hear this.
I know taking new photos will be a challenge in these circumstances, but it looks like you have access to the Internet, and maybe too, your collection of past photos?
Hope that gives you a chance to browse happier days.
And maybe share some with us?
With all our best wishes that this period can be made comfortable for you.
-
Best wishes Mike!!

Sorry to hear this, Mike! May you know peace and enjoy your time as best you can.

Mike, along with Akira and others I wish you peace, and as Fons has written, grace and strength. I've long appreciated and enjoyed your contributions--images from your travels, Dave the cat, the colorful Minis, the sharing of your life. I do look forward to whatever you are able to share going forward, whether photographically or otherwise. You are clearly valued.
-
So very well summarised and put.
Mike, I cannot pass a Mini without thinking of you. ;D

I have enjoyed your posts since the original nikongear, fotozones, and now here, the changing of photo equipment , your trips, the minis, your dislike for b&w
Don't know what else to say

Mike, it saddens me to hear the bad news. I echo what all the members said before me about strength, bravery, and cherishing every second.
Yours, Jakov
