Tammy, thanks. I have been posting on my website - several hundred posts there dealing with aging in place and universal design issues - many are relevant to real estate sales. Thanks and be well. Steve
Morning Grant.
Like you said, I haven't seen or heard from him in a long time. Hopefully, he'll start again, time will tell

James, hello from the past! Hope you are remaining well in these current conditions. Thanks. Steve
Hello Grant - It's nice when formerly active members return to ActiveRain for a "check-in" and update on what is happening in their lives. I look forward to hearing more insight about Lou Ludwig too from Steve Hoffacker.

Michael, appreciate the "hello." Good hearing from you - through Grant's post.
Good morning, Grant... clearly, Steve was out of the picture pretty much by the time I joined Active Rain... as his is not a name I was familiar with.

Hello, Barbara. Thanks for remembering. Don't have an active real estate business (i.e. sales) except for the renovations aspect of it through aging in place. Steve
Good morning Grant. Steve and Lou were great instructors of courses offered by the National Association of Homebuilders. Steve continues with the "Aging in Place" program. Enjoy your day!

Hello Wayne, just escaped Chicago (did classes there) when the quarantines began. Always good hearing from you. Steve
Grant Schneider , we are using Zoom now in the office to conduct our on-going training. Works like a charm. Have been considering using it myself to invite people I have not seen in a while to catch up with.

What a great idea!
I don't know Steve (yet) but look forward to reading his posts. Especially about Aging in Place topics, since I recently earned an SRES® designation and would love to learn more about options for aging.

Kat, congratulations on getting your SRES - section 4 in that curriculum deals with aging in place. I teach a 3-day program for the National Association of Home Builders leading to the Certified Aging In Place Specialist designation that goes into much more detail, and I've just completed the draft on 21 Ways To Make Money as a Certified Aging In Place Specialist that will be released as soon as I can get it recorded and posted.
Yes, Steve Hoffacker - the course did deal with Aging in Place. I started doing some research about companies that deal with those issues here in my area but then I got distracted by other work items. I have to get back to that. Look forward to reading more from you.
I am not familiar with Steve Hoffacker but if he brought Lou Ludwig onto the scene, I am definitely interested in getting to know him!

Hi Grant Schneider - WOW! I didn't really start blogging until 2012 and it was a rare occasion. But to hear that Steve Hoffacker got Lou to start blogging, that is something. Lou was (and still is) an all-time favorite and I would say an ActiveRain Hall of Fame personality.
I think you guys win the prize for this challenge!

Joan - It is great for all of my meetings.
Sheri - that was certainly a great talent find.
Jeff - Steve told me he was number 4 on the board at one time.
Thank you very much, Grant, for sharing your contact with Steve.
Have a great day!

How wonderful, Grant. You've obviously had some success as I see his comments on this post. Well done.
Since you mentioned Lou...got to say that I miss that guy..

It appears that haveing Steve Hoffacker engaged on Active Rain on a regular basis again would be a good thing.
@Grant Schneider, good connecting with you again, and thanks for your help. Check out today's post - Zoom related.
Yes we miss Steve and even more his protege sadly no longer with us, Endre
