OT for Greg or Steve...anyone else
 

We first met a couple, Scott and Cera, at the original BrainTalkCommunities Forum a number of years ago, and kept in very close contact via e-mail for a very, very long time...had become really close friends even at such a distance. We communicated regularly...keeping up with each other's lives..even chatting at MSN Messenger at least 2-3 times a week. They now have 3 little ones...Brandon, Kelly and Lindsey. They have very suddenly just disappeared...no communication at all and no way to contact them because their e-mail addresses are no longer in existence. We are just very concerned about Scott and Cera and we thought if anyone had had any contact with them recently, we would just appreciate knowing that they're "ok". We seem to remember Greg and Steve having been involved at BTC during Scott's involvement, there, and probably others of you, too. If any of you can share any information with us, we would so appreciate it...thank you ....

Therese..I dont seem to recall Scott and Cera..I joined BT in Dec 2004

Thanks, Steve
 

I guess Scott and Cera were "before your time", Steve. In fact, I'm fairly sure that they left BTC a few years before 2004. For some reason, I just thought that you had been there when they were there...just such nice young people. When we first "met" them at BTC, they were expecting their first baby...the next year, their second...and the NEXT year, their third!
I always was so amazed at their courage...two very young people bringing 3 little ones into the world and raising them...especially with Scott having PD...but, he was truly such a good husband and father despite all the difficulties he was encountering with the PD. I believe he was dx'd at age 35 or so...just the nicest guy you'd ever want to know...terrific sense of humor despite all he was suffering. Gee, Steve...I bet you didn't expect a "dissertation" in reponse to your very nice, prompt response to my post...thanks so much for that, Steve...

I remember Scott and Cera when she was pregnant the first time...twins maybe...don't remember. They were both a part of BT for a long time, several years ago. I was with BT since 2000.

Surely some of the older member of BT will remember them. I know GregW would remember them for sure. :)

Jaye and Paula will remember them and so do I. He was off site friends with someone called Bear somethilng or other who poted here a lot back then.

Scott was the one who did what Stevem is doing now and if I am not wrong preceeded Jaye in the same job. I can't remember their last name now.

Scott and Cera
 

I remember Scott and Cera and have often wondered how Scott was getting along. I don't know how to get ahold of them.

GregD

scott and c used to go to the chatrooms a lot. i will send a few emails to people who might still be in touch.

Thank You
 

To all who responded to my inquiry about Scott and Cera...Steve, Greg, Thelma, Carolyn, Curious..I think I've remembered all...and yes, Curious...it was Scott who invited Doreen (my pwp) to the chat room...they use to chat there regularly. I have been attempting to register at BTC to see if anyone there might still be in touch although I doubt it because it seemed to us that Scott only kept in touch with us after leaving BTC... but, I have not been successful in registering. When I complete the data requested, i.e., birthdate, then PROCEED...it will not allow me to proceed. It's been frustrating, but I will persist.
Thanks, all, again for your responses....

Hi - Yes I Remember Scott and Cera
 

They were at BT for years. I know Scott was either still working or had just gone on disability when they seemed to disappear shortly after Cera had her second Baby.

Unfortunately, I don't kow how to get in touch with them. BUT, if the "Bear" someone mentioned is "Racin' Bear," I have been in fairly recenty contact with him (last year) and I can ask him if he still in touch with them. As all have said, they were both very nice and seemed quite devoted to one another.

I'll get an email to Mike and see what I can find out, without invading their privacy.

GregW

Just now seeing this.
Greg, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Thelma, it was Scott who had Rendezvous at the same time that I took over Chit Chat from Cloudy, who had it from Bob C, with GregW1 substituting occasionally. There had been some friction--I won't call it bad feeling because it wasn't--between the chatroom types (Scott's crew) and the more verbose bulletin board types (the Chit Chat crowd). Scott and I got together and merged the two into the Chatterbox Cafe, taking turns hosting it. interest in that waned, and I did Up Close and Personal for a while, but i wasn't an era for informal contact, and I stopped altogether.

Then you, Thelma, asked why we didn't have a check-in like some of the other boards, and I started up again with weekly check-in, which I later conferred on Steve, who is the best yet. I have met Steve in person, and he's as great a guy as you think he is. I also met Cloudy a couple of times and made lifelong (so far) friends with GregW1.

I have also had a couple of friends move recently whom i haven't heard from yet. It's a weird feeling. I'll will also try to connect with Scott.

Therese? Were you using another screen name in those days?

Otherwise, I think I got it mostly straight.

Jaye

Intermersed among the pages here are some from the old Rendevous

Really Interesting and Intriguing
 

GregW1...yes..Mike...known as racin' bear...I remember that name well, and I know that Scott and Mike kept in touch for a time, but as time went on, this contact seemed to become less and less until I believe they no longer corresponded (not really certain about this).

...and Jaye...yes...I remember Scott talking about Rendezvous and you with Chit Chat...then, the merge into Chatterbox Cafe...and yes...I believe we used my pwp's user name at the time, i.e. Doreen...Scott would know and recognize us as Gin and Doreen (my first name is Virginia (Gin)...but I decided to use my middle name here when I joined, i.e. Therese...just like my middle name better!!!! I last tried e-mailing Scott and Cera using both their e-mail addresses about 2 weeks ago and a message was returned to me stating that these addresses were no longer in use. Receiving that message really just devastated us...there would be no other way for us to contact them because, as close as we had become, Scott was reluctant to share his home address and telephone number with ANYONE telling us that he had had a very bad experience one time and he just couldn't bring himself to move beyond that experience...not even with us...even though we had given ours to them...but, that was our choice, and we respected Scott's choice...but, now, we have no way to be in touch...and we just feel so helpless. I apologize for going on at such length, but when I read your responses...GregW1 and Jaye, I really became so excited because it just seemed to me that I might be getting a little closer to finding our friends. Thank you so much for your messages and for offering to help if you can.

Thank you, Thelma
 

Thelma...just read your post...thank you for directing me to the Archives. I wasn't able to access the specific topics listed there..my webtv didn't seem to have that capability...but, I will ask Doreen (my pwp) to access these on her computer tomorrow. I'm almost tempted to go wake her up to do this for me right now, but I don't think that she'd appreciate that!!!

Thanks again, Thelma

Therese

I remember Scott and Cera from the old forum, but I never knew them beyond the forum. I remember interesting and warm hearted posts by Scott. But something upset them enough to make them leave the forum, I have no idea what it was, but I remember Scott's good bye post. It was sad - and strange - that they left. I hope they are well, and that you find them.

birte

Thank you, Birte
 

You described Scott so well, Birte...very warm...very caring...and, too, very humorous at times. Some,here, have said that they would try to "find" him...but, I really sense that this is hopeless at this point...and we feel helpless in that we have no way to be in touch with these two very nice young people and their family. It is such a loss to us...and they seem to have disappeared just as the did from the forum.

Thank you again, Birte....

Therese

I am sorry...
 

I have been unable to get a message to Scott and his family.
Jaye

scott and cera... remember them well. scott introduced me to literati on yahoo games of which now i am addicted. i havent heard from or about them for a very long time.

Thank you, Jaye and Harley
 

Just want to thank both of you for trying to "find" Scott, Cera and family. Just as Birte mentioned that it was a mystery as to the reason they left BT and the way in which they left, it is for us, too, a mystery. I seem to have exhausted all avenues in my search to find these two very nice people. I continue to hope, though, that possibly...just possibly...someone, here, WILL post a "lead" for us someday. Thanks to ALL who have tried to help us in our quest.
