TopBilled Posted August 2, 2016 Wondering about Ray. Hope he's alright. His profile says he hasn't been on the message boards since July 24th, over a week ago. Since he usually posts often each day, his absence is very noticeable. Especially in this sub-forum. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrence1 Posted August 3, 2016 Add me to the list of those who miss him. He always has so much to offer on the boards. Ray, if you read this, hope to hear from you soon Terrence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted August 4, 2016 Add me to the list of those who miss him. He always has so much to offer on the boards. Ray, if you read this, hope to hear from you soon I just remembered I have his email address-- we emailed a few times in April. So I sent a note, hoping he gets it and responds. I will keep everyone informed if I hear anything. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TopBilled Posted August 7, 2016 I bet he's in his Summer Place without connectivity. Loved your charming tribute to Ray. Who doesn't enjoy Troy Donahue and A SUMMER PLACE..! I haven't heard anything back after emailing him. At least not yet. Hoping you're right, that it's just a connectivity issue. It would be a terrible thing if he does not ever post here again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LawrenceA Posted August 11, 2016 Still no word, ay? 17 days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted August 11, 2016 Still no word, ay? 17 days... Perhaps he is on some sort of vacation. In the past, if Ray didn't post for a few days, he would eventually return to the message boards and I'd get a private message from him describing what he had been up to... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted August 19, 2016 I heard from Ray today-- he emailed me this afternoon. He said he will be back on the message boards soon. I will let him explain his absence, if he chooses to discuss it. Just wanted to let everyone know. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayban Posted August 20, 2016 Hi, guys, thanks for your kind thoughts, unfortunately, I had a medical emergency and, amazingly, I managed to survive. When I can get back some more strength, I will be back on the TCM message boards. I did miss everybody a great deal. My very best to all you guys. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayban Posted August 20, 2016 Nice to see you posting again, Ray! Thanks, TopBilled, I am going to give it a go - soon. Your warm wishes are truly appreciated. I did miss posting on the Gay Indies thread. Because, posting on that thread, I did learn an awful lot about gay indie cinema - internationally. It is alive and well. And the range of subject matter is really and truly - awesome. And the presence of true talent is awesome, too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been learning a lot about filmmakers (and stories) I had never heard of before. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
