What happened to our pal "Fixed"

[Ken Robb]

Last post was Aug. 2014. He was in a total life-changing program.

So life changing it wasn't all that real apparently.

It has been suggested that he isn't / wasn't who he held himself out to be. He seemed like a decent enough fellow to me but then I only 'knew' him here.

In real life he wasn't who he appeared to be online. He's was white as you or I Ken. Think he might have gotten some PMs and left.

Care to elaborate? PM, if you'd like.

Ok, this thread is odd timing...just this morning I was wondering the same thing and recalled some messages Butch and I exchanged. A while back he posted a picture of himself in SF that surprised me because he had claimed repeatedly that he was black.

I hope he is well. I liked his posts and miss his presence.

Not in a position to, I'm afraid (don't have the knowledge). One of the mods (Keith, I think) alluded to this in a thread a few days ago.

Rumor has it that he moved up to Spokane to work for the NAACP.

If I'd been drinking coffee, it would have all shot out my nose on that one...

Weird. I exchanged PM's with him a few times about Tampa/ FL. I don't recall any misrepresentation.

He did live in Florida and did move to SF. He also loved bikes and seemed like a good guy, maybe just a little confused.

He's on Facebook, and you're incorrect about this ^ . It should be a nonissue anyway.

He sometime later posted a pic in SF that showed otherwise:

I like Fixed.

I met up with him a couple of times near the Marina Green in S.F., life is like a bowl of cherries with him and he lives it as such. Sometime fantasy gets intertwined with reality but he is basically of good heart. IMO
