Where are they now, these once active TD fans?

Over the years there have been many TD fans that have come and gone in terms of fan activity. But where have these individuals gone? Some have gone to ground. I thought this topic deserved its own thread. People that come to mind include:

Jason Hopkins (UK Voyager magazine)

Niall Dew (UK Voyager magazine)

Al Benson (US fan)

Lee Creek (Bristol based fan from 1990 Tour)

John Hyam (helped out at Chris Franke's 1991 London concert)

anyone know where these guys are these days?

There are many others too I think.

Thanks,

Conrad

I remember a chap called John Ashcroft who I used to buy a lot of stuff from. I think he advertised in Voyager and have often wondered where he is now.

John's name crops up quite a few times

I think you could go through 2/3rds of the people listed in the old TDIFC news letters (they used to print people's addresses at one point) and ask 'where are they now'?

MANY people never bother with forums, lists, blogs or websites...the music (whatever their favourite period) was enough

People spend too much time talking about music and not enough time listening to it
