I have been trying to reach Alex Vardanis (old fishbrain) for some time without success. Is anyone aware of his health, etc.

I have not spoke with him since around last spring, maybe. He had a couple of strokes but was doing well. PM me and I can check if you have the right phone number.

Very good news. Just spoke with Alex and his wife Irene. All has been relatively uneventful minus the Covid restrictions on their lives. Fortunately they are grinding thru the pandemic as we all are and holding their owm.

We all can't wait for this guy to return to the board and give us a Hey!
I have also really enjoyed my friendship created with this oldfishbrain.
Maybe he will swing by...
