... I read, thats its possible he's in Melbourne atm ...

Yes, that's one version we've heard, and there's another version which I making enquiries about, probably won't hear anything until mid-week, and whether I hear anything worthwhile (due to privacy requirements) is another matter.

A state government department I’ve contacted re. Kev, wants a date of birth.  Any ideas?

Here's a snip from Kev's profile.



The Forum has calculated that Kev's age is 78.   He must've put in his DoB at some stage, this info must still ne there, someone must be able to go into the bowels of the Forum to retreive it.

Brock?

Wombat?

To all Kev's FB friends, the mutual friends are all OzSTOC members.  Perhaps some of you can reach-out to his other 23 FB friends to see if they know about whereabouts and his health & welfare.

As I'm not Kev's FB friend I can't do this, or see any of the other 23.

Messaged the strawberry farm at Portland, they are not sure if they know Kev, asked for photo, I can’t find one, anyone got a good pic?

Got a message from the strawberry farm, they don't know where Kev is or anything about his health and well being.

Thanks team for investigating his well being.


I have nothing to add, nor can I help any more than Brock has with the behind the scene info.


Seems very odd that Kev hasn't even been on the forum for a while.


Did he mention anything during his visit JD?

No, that was back in 2020, I think he attended a few RTE’s after that.

The last time I spoke to Kev was, I think, last August and he'd had a power surge that took out a lot of his stuff including his computer.
He'd also somehow lost all of his phone contacts so had been unable to contact anyone.
I tried phoning him during September and regularly since then and have never got a response.

He had an ancient laptop that he was able to use but, unfortunately he'd lost his passwords with the demise of his computer so was
unable to access the forum.
I contacted Brock on his behalf and he was able to reset Kev's password...
