"Ground Control to Portsmouth Bill"

#1 Post by jabba »

Has anyone heard from Portsmouth Bill? I don't recall reading any posts from him recently, and on checking, his last visit to the forum was Friday 13th September, which in itself is quite concerning. I hope everything is Ok...

He's taking some time off to deal with things.

back when he still was moderator, he made notice to us (admin) that his time to visit the forums was decreasing due various factors.

I miss my old mate PB. His wisdom, humour and most of all drawings were a credit to this site. If you do look in on us a guest Bill I wish you well. ;)

I've not heard anything of Bill either, even on other sites.

I do miss his comments and enthusiasm, I hope he does stop by from time to time as a guest to see the latest stuff. I'm sure he would have loved Lieut East's Aussie AU

Bill and I go back before "Shipbucket" or thereabouts. I've always gotten a kick out his drawings and his comic antics. I miss his easy going style and I was really hoping to see more of him here. Hopefully all is well with him and his family.
Keep well and keep drawing,

I hope things change for the better so that he will be able to spend some time on the forum.
