Dave Hoskins?

[Mike Stafford]

I happened to realize that I haven't seen anything from Dave in quite a while. Does anyone know if Dave is having some issues?

 

[steve ramsey]

I've been wondering the same thing. Hope all is well.

 

[Ted Calver]

I sent him a message on Etsy a couple of weeks ago. Told him he was missed and hoped he’d check in. Never heard back.

 

[steve ramsey]

Can anyone do some sleuthing with the VA I checked the obits in Parker County Tx.

 

[Darren Wright]

His last post was Jan 14th, 2024. Hope all is well with him.

Does anyone know what town he lives in in Parker County, I can contact the American Legion and just maybe they can track him down and do a buddy check. Parker county is just to brroad of an area.

I found this which has a contact for a David M Landers for several david hoskins for vietname era marine vets. Not sure if any of them are our dave.

As recent as Feb he had a fair bunch of stuff on his etsy shop so the recent lack of anything is concerning..

At one point he had an email contact of davehoskins@skybeammail.com on his defunct daveswoodart.com site:

Contact | Daves Wood Art

Daves Wood Art, hand turned bowls, wood serving bowl, wooden serving bowl, wood display bowl, wood boxes, hand turned boxes, wood salt box, wood spice box, wood platters, wooden platters, wood serving dish, wooden dish, Dave Hoskins

found by looking at the archive of the site pointed at by http://woodartbydave.com/ (which I found by searching his etsy address)
which also has a contact page (but I'm not sure where it goes or if it works), the address & phone there appear to be the hosting company.

He had a live journal for a while

and a blogger account

Dave Hoskins

woodturningdave.blogspot.com

both of them seem fairly defunct the last few years though

I'm pretty sure this is.was his linkedin account, but that didn't give me a lot of info (another "contact" point though maybe)

Fort Worth area the last I knew, but no specifics

If I recall he moved in the last couple of years, not sure if Parker county is his current location.

Did anyone try to PM him yet?
