    Where is john k jordon

    There have been no posts from John since mid March this year. Does anybody know why. I have always enjoyed his thoughtful and thorough responses, and subtle humor. Hope all is well.

    We have been having a similar discussion "behind the scenes" and have not been able to make contact to-date. EDIT: He's ok. His story to tell, however.

    Agreed, JKJ's posts are most often informative and thoughtful. John is the guy we all wish we had as our best friend or living next door. Wish him good health for a long time.

    I actually enjoyed a “Creeker Visit” with him a few years ago at his place. He’s ever more gracious and entertaining and generous in person than he is here on The Creek. And what a stash of wood! Holy cow! I brought him some mesquite, and he sent me away with LOTS of different woods that we don’t have in Houston or Texas. I’m so glad to know he’s ok!

    It's only castles burning,
    Just find someone who's turning,
    And you will come around

    I was just wondering about John last week or so, as he has always added so much to the different forums.

    I do hope he and family are well at this time.

    Sad to report that John passed earlier this year. Robust Tools has established a scholarship in his name: https://www.turnrobust.com/
    Different John Jordan. This thread is in regard to John K Jordon who has been ill, but is recovering.
