What Ever Happened To...

[huntertrw]

A few years back there was a Forums member who delivered sail and power boats to buyers, made some really nice, pipes, had a drop-dead gorgeous wife and daughter, and whose posts I always enjoyed. Unfortunately, I simply can't recall his User Name. Do any of you remember this gentleman? If so, who was he, and what ever happened to him? I wonder...

He was mod here for a year or so. Zack24

Zachary Hamrick was his realworld name, I think.

Friend of Harris I believe.....Zach? That's all I remember

georged and davidintexas for the combined win: Zach is correct! His last name is Hamric, and he's even listed in pipedia.org. Here's the link to his citation there.

This is Zach with his wife Greta:



So, my original question still stands: What ever happened to him?

He lost interest in pipe making after discovering how difficult it was to meet high grade standards/expectations, and selling what he was able to produce for the prices people offered for them was unacceptable.

They are still cruising the world, slinging boats. I met up with him and Al in New Orleans years ago, and I follow him on IG.

Huh, I’ve been going through the Radio Show backlog lately and just came across the (one of the?) episode he was interviewed on, #169. Seemed like a fun hang!
