I emailed Roberto on March last year in response to Stan Halpin's request who asked me if I still had his email. I emailed him and responded he was doing great at that time. He looks at the posts from time to time but he is not subscribed anymore.
Regards. Angel

Bruce,
Agreed on Malfud=Kirkland Ramsey III and Bruce R. trolling for Nikon.
I too miss Roberto Burgos.  Shortly before he dropped out,
he announced the 5th anniversary of his cancer survivorship.

Boy, all these characters bring me back.  We were all thinking that
Mafud and Kirkland Ramsey III were the same guy.  There were some
real roller coaster postings in those days.  I still see Rubenstein
on Photo.net once in a while - he was doing wedding work in NY
shooting Nikon if I remember correctly.

I remember Roberto Burgos who seemed like a great guy.  Sorry to see
him leave.
