Not in months. I sent him some money last year to help him get by. Hope he is
going ok. I miss the grumpy old bastard.

I haven't looked at rec.knives in about 5 years, and I actually just
got on tonight to see if Chas, Alvin J., and a few others were still
active. I think Chas gave me some leather working tips ~6 years ago.
There were a lot of really generous, helpful people on rk...

Hey Will,
I just checked in and was wondering about Alvin also. A few years ago
this group was over run by trolls and they kind of ruined a good
thing. Sad really. Alvin left and never came back. I don't think he
has posted here since 2007. He was a cool guy, someone I would have
liked to meet. He was retired, and for all I know he isn't even alive
any more.
I came across Alvin in one of the moderated groups a little while ago.
I don't remember what site but he sounded like he was alive and still
active.
Cheers,
Schweik
