    WINON - Forum Member - Current Status ?

    .
    I trust the Moderators will bear with me regarding this posting / request.

    Winon has been a long time contributor to this Forum. He and I established a long distance friendship (he in South Africa/Johannesburg ... me in North Carolina) and have
    corresponded via private email as well.

    I've been trying to see how he is with this Covid-19 pandemic and the political unrest in South Africa. He has not answered any private emails or inquires via this forum either.

    Has anyone communicated with Winon in the past two weeks ?

    Thank you.

    MarvinP :

    Thank you for the 'heads up'. I've attempted to converse with him since then ... no luck.

    I hope he and everyone else who hasn't been active lately is doing well.

    Thanks.

    Re: WINON - Forum Member - Current Status ?

    I am an ex South African, living in PA USA, and Winon and I have almost met a few times when I flew back to see some family members that I still have in SA.

    Another contributing factor to his lower attendance may be what they call Load Shedding, where they turn the electricity off at certain times. This has nothing to do with the virus, it's been going on for almost a year now (my son there constantly complains about them turning off the power)

    Also, he is not in the greatest of health, so that may also be playing into this.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    FDibbins :

    Yup ... I was aware of the load sharing. Since "meeting" Winon, I've become very much interested in the circumstances in SA. Very sad.
    SA used to be a very beautiful, prosperous country .... it is terrible the way things are going now.

    Thanks for the info.

    Stay healthy !

    He last posted on 15 March. I do hope he’s OK. These are difficult times - my daughter and I were saying only this afternoon how much harder it would be in self-isolation without all the modern technology we have.

    SA is still an amazingly beautiful country, it's just the politics that have screwed everything up there (and the resultant crime)
