I agree with you guys 100%.
A year ago, when I was in the hospital, I found out what a great bunch of friends I had, on this Forum. They helped me thru some bad times. I will never forget that.
And now, we will all help Zeke & Jenny with our prayers and hopes for a speedy recovery.

This is an interesting coincidence. There seems to be another Zeke “Brian” Watkins in Redding, CA, who, like our Zeke, is interested in RC trucks, has trouble with apostrophes, and is a veteran. However, he was shot in the throat rather than the heart:

I can’t find him.
Yes, I agree also with this thread. It getting harder to find people my age liking trains anymore. What happened to a Lionel train being on every boy’s CHRISTmas list? I think trains do strike interest in every kid, no matter if they like trains or not. Liking trains is nothing to be ashamed of, it does not make you weird, stupid, or anything else. I think train companies still focus alot more on kids that adults. (O gauge that is) It is great to have a forum like we do, I dont think i’ve ever seen a forum like ours. Everybody is friends and family here. I like to be here, I like to post and read and gather information. (But I dont like it when nobody replies to my post… [swg] [;)] [:D] ).
Bob, actually his name is Brian Zeke Watkins, and that does sound like an interesting coincidence. Sounds kind of weird, is this our zeke? I mean, whats the chances? A guy having the same name, liking rc trucks, living in redding california, and being a vet?
I do see some evidence, in ‘zekesters’ profile on that site, he says he has 20 years of rc experience, so that means he started when he was 10, because he’s 30 now. [:-^] [%-)]
Get well soon Zeke!!!

Did you read the whole thread, Joseph?
He (well, somebody else named Zeke) did not post on that forum, he was mentioned, look at the bottom post.
Grayson
OK, got it.
Wow what a story if you take the time to read it. I guess there could be two people with the same name and same interest and backgrounds. The only difference is that one is a criminal and ours is sick in the hospital.
Agree. See how all ralley when someone needs something or support. If it is the same Zeke, then he needs our prayers just as bad. To “pull a lie” like this, means he needs real help. Lord’s job to judge.
Now as for the young ones, really proud of them. Colin came as a smarty and grew to a very mature young man.
Great group of people here.
KEITH, you hit the nail on the head here. Like everyone else here we are all FAMILY.

Hey guys great post here accept for the stuff that involves me but only in a round about way!
Let me nip this in the bud here.
This invovled my house, my computer, my stuff but wasnt me. Long story short. I had some 
staying with me recently and fixed and used an old dial up computer to email his wife, old army buddy. Well he screwed me and used my name and email. Long story short, Im am fixing this situation. Wasnt mine, didnt know it was happening. But im fixing it. The friend ( or so called friend) ripped me off too and is no were to be found. This guy is in canada and This week i am gonna resolve it. So please dont think this is how i am because it is not. Just a situation i inadvertantly was invloved in and am going to correct at my expense. If anyone needs any more convincing or needs to know the exact details email me but its gonna be handled this coming week. didnt even know this guy plastered this all over the web either till i read this post and most of it is not accurate.
i just dont want anyone thinking I am a bad apple cuz im not, bitter at times maybe but not rotten!
And i want to add this is a wonderfull place, when i logged on tonight i was blown away on the responses i seen about me. you guys really do rock! If you guys were close id give you all a big 
b ut your not and so heres the best i can do 
The Chief and I discussed this subject a week or more back. He’s old and senile, but hopefully he remembers what I told him.
This forum is a great place, and like others, I too feel a strong kinship with other members. The vast majority of us are very nice, decent folks who are only to happy to help, offer advice, share knowledge, and much more. I’ve learned a lot since finding this forum, and not all of it being about toy trains. I’m a better person for being here.

Hear! Hear! I enjoy this particular forum more than most because of its flexibility in discussing other aspects of life on certain threads. I also appreciate the chance to get to ‘know’ members in real life.
You know, this forum is great, not because of advice, or help, but for how everyone is like family and doesnt hesitate to help each other. On other forums, a lot of the members hate eachother, but on the ctt forum everyone is like family.

I looked at what the guy on this posted, and he posted parts of an email, and the wording did not seem at all like zeke.
Bob, why did you ever want us to think of zeke that way? Lol. Zeke, the forum was very boring without you posting 2:00 every night, and did you here the news? I finally took your advise and im going TOTALLY TUBULAR DUDE!!!
Grayson
Jenny, yesterday: “He will get them when he pulls threw.”
Zeke, today: “So i thought my breastbone had been cracked but wasnt, i was just cut threw…”
They were made for each other.
Unless someone doesn’t like what you posted, Then you become the red headed step child!
Keith,
I couldn’t agree with you more. This is a great bunch of guys (and gals, Lisa, Misty.) We are pretty much all family to one another.
Zeke and all,
There was another person with the same first middle and last name as mine and it caused a problem with my bank and my Doctor!!! Turns out the other guy used the same bank as me and had the same digestive problems as me and the scary part is he was just starting at Devry University as I was finnishing up my degree at first I thought it was idenity theft but he is legit never met him personaly but the bank and the doctors office finaly caught on that there was 2 guys with the same name but different ss numbers, do not know if he likes trains or not[#oops][D)][(-D]
