UPDATE: Joe Nguyen, aka ZenSpearo contact made!!!!

Text mesages, not a phone call. But I will take it! He is quietly working on some projects related to fisheries, as I understand it, in the Texas gulf.
He's ok, just had medical issues that he had to take a lot of time to address, reconnect with his sons, change his life perspective.
He's ok and doing well, as he told me. I sent him a part for his brother's sailboat, which Joe was headed to the south Pacific to spend time on- Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.

So for all that have been missing him, he sends his apologies, but hopes we will all understand he wanted some anonymity and to get some relief from the struggles he wore bore on his shoulders, including our MLPA work.

He sends his best to all, and said thank you for the concern and for our friendship.

Maybe someday I will catch up to him in person, it would be nice.

Thanks for this!!! i haven't logged on to Spearboard for years and the 1st thing was to see if Joe was still around. You answered it. So weird. One of the most thoughtful people I've ever met.
