23 Years Ago, a member simply known as KC joined a little message board on the internet called the Clint Eastwood Web Board. She soon became everything to this board -- a Moderator and eventually the main Administrator of the board. There was rarely a topic that she didn't weigh in on. She was a researcher, a bibliophile, and so much more. To me, she was one of my very best friends, for just over 20 years.

I am reeling from the email we received today, and I will have more to say later. Right now, I am in mourning, and unable to find the words that would do her justice. Then again, I'm sure there are no words that I could come up with to do just that. I would turn to her and ask for her help. She always had the right words. Every single word in about 10 or 12 languages in which she was fluent. Friends, tonight, please take some time to think of how amazing this #1 Eastwood fan and friend is. How much time she dedicated to this board, and share your thoughts with us.
 
Here is all we know as of now -- the email we received:

Dear Eastwood board,

Forgive me if you've already received this information.  I'm very sorry to let you know that KC (Kathie Coblentz) died unexpectedly last Saturday evening, from head injuries when she fell after having been struck by a car.

I was one of Kathie's co-workers, and we've been longtime friends since the late 1990s.  A mutual friend contacted me just a couple of hours ago, and I'm still in shock and disbelief.

Kathie was 73.  She leaves no immediate survivors except for her friends, who certainly include you and all devoted Eastwood fans.

Please let me hear from you if you have any questions, although I don't know much more yet than what I've shared here.  I know you must be as stunned and saddened as I am, and my heart goes out to all of you.

With best wishes,

Laura O'Keefe

Laura included an email address, but I do not want to share it on a public forum. If you wanted to write her directly please PM me.

All I can really say at this point is that she may not have had family, but she had a lot of love from friends. I will never ever know anyone like her. This is a hole in my heart that will never be filled. RIP dear Kathie, "KC".

Off-Topic Discussion / Our Board has lost an angel
« on: January 19, 2021, 09:52:44 AM »
It's not easy to write this.  Our board has lost an angel. I realized today I hadn't heard from Mary Gayle, "mgk", for a long time. I did a web search, and discovered that she passed away on July 30th. There is a beautiful slideshow of her and her family, and also the video of her service at this link: Mary Gayle Krock 1941-2020

When I found this web board over 20 years ago, Mary Gayle was one of the first friends that I made here. At the time, she moderated the "Trivia" portion of the web board (the "old" board).  We started talking and became good friends. Eventually I had the honor of working on the moderating team with Mary Gayle and KC, and we worked together on film discussion, putting together Movie Nights, and finding new and inventive ways to commune in the trivia forum. Mary Gayle loved Clint, and she loved this board and the members here. She was a Clint collector, and all of the prizes we've given away here on the board were from Mary Gayle's collection. She never wanted recognition for her hard work and all that she put into the board and its membership, but those who knew her knew that she was the heartbeat of the board community.

2020 has claimed another, and this loss is felt, even if she wasn't very active on the board in recent years. RIP "mgk".  We've lost an angel, but she can now be reunited with her husband and her beloved pets.

Off-Topic Discussion / Sean Connery Appreciation Thread
« on: October 31, 2020, 07:50:46 AM »
Sean Connery passed away today at the age of 90. Let's celebrate his iconic career by discussing our favorite of his films, and anything else that comes to mind.

I've never been a huge James Bond fan, but I do enjoy all of those films, and he was my favorite of the Bond actors. My favorite of his roles, however, is as Mark Rutland in Hitchcock's Marnie:



We've discussed this film in more length in the Hitchcock thread, but if this is one you haven't seen yet and you want to visit some Connery films this week, I'd recommend it. How about you? Let's hear your favorite Sean Connery films.

Off-Topic Discussion / How's everyone holding up?
« on: March 18, 2020, 11:31:34 PM »
This board is so quiet that we're not even discussing the pandemic and how it's affecting us. Are you and your family members self-quarantining? How's that going? What are you doing to keep busy? Check in and discuss...

We're hunkered down and staying in. The Nashville area has been hit pretty hard so Saturday was the last day I went out to get supplies. Planning on utilizing Amazon and local grocery delivery until things look safe out there... could be a few months (or more - gulp).

The Mule will be released in the U.S. December 14th. The Mods have noticed quite a bit of interest in speculating on what the opening weekend box office will be in the News thread, so we thought it would be a new fun way to discuss it in its own thread if we added a little gambling excitement to it!  Introducing THE MULE OPENING WEEKEND BOX OFFICE POOL! 

We'll play this "The Price Is Right" style!  The member who posts closest to the actual box office (as reported at Box Office Mojowithout going over will win the pool, and a prize!

If you have no interest in speculating what the Opening Weekend Box Office will be, that's fine, but what the heck, you can't win if you don't play -- and we're talking about a seriously awesome Clint Eastwood prize.  While it would be really cool to arrange a meet and greet with The Man himself, we wanted something even more awesome... that you could keep, frame, and have with you forever.   So instead, we're thinking a paperbook novel based on one of his movies, or a True Crime lobby card, or a 33 1/3 vinyl album soundtrack of HANG 'EM HIGH. I mean, yeah, we're talking BIG PRIZES!  ;)

But more than anything, you'll have something to brag about around the Christmas table when all your family comes to visit and wants to be filled in on what you've been up to for the last 12 months of your life.  Don't hold back -- tell them in all your glory about how you WON THE MULE OPENING WEEKEND BOX OFFICE POOL!

So Clint Eastwood Forum members.... COME ON DOWN!  Post YOUR BEST GUESS at what the Opening Weekend Box Office will be for The Mule here!
