Also .... several women as noted by QuiltyLouise.
Interesting that all seem to use their real names (or perhaps aliases, but first/last names)

And at the same time protect security. If I lived KY, I could I would certainty try to be helpful, NOT rude.

The reporter needs a male quilter in HIS area of Kentucky.
The reporter is a member now of this website and can find any other member's user name just as the rest of us can.
If anyone knows of a male quilter in the correct area of Kentucky, they could easily PM the quilter with a link to this thread so that quilter could personally contact the reporter by PM.
If the quilter, or anyone else, has questions they can easily contact the venue for which this reporter works to establish his legitimacy.
Being cautious and 'private' is one thing we should all do.
Being a bit rude in response to a new member's post is another entirely, especially when there is recourse to answer the question without endangering anyone.

QuiltnNan, that message has been up for at LEAST 2 years when I joined
their website. Even though I don't visit the website much anymore (not since
my English class ended 2 years ago) I do still try to support the website by
donating.
There are some amazing quilters on that website just like there are amazing
quilters here.

Jan, didn't you post some time back about a male quilter in WV who's quilt was going to be hung at some museum? Seems to me his quilts were featured in a news article about him & his quilting & that he'd entered quilts into a show there & won the honor of having one of them displayed at the museum. I don't remember his name or the quilt show, but didn't you enter a quilt into the same show?? Does this ring a bell? If so, maybe you could pass that info on to Ray for his research. Ray, I wish you luck in your endeavor. Maybe if you expand your geographic area you'll find whom your looking for or can find the answers your looking for.

It's like the time I walked into Harbor Freight and wandered around for a while, just looking at all the goodies. Male employee (who must have been at least 70 years old) kept following me, asking what it was my husband needed me to pick up. I finally turned around and told him I was searching for a new husband, and was he interested? He left me alone after that.
