RIP Roberta

 Found out yesterday through some contacts that Roberta passed away from cancer earlier this month, a battle she didnt get much opportunity to fight.  Those of you who have been around a while would remember her and 'old fart', life is short, live it well.

Sun, 2017-01-22 21:30

 Sad news, must admit I did have a couple of minor disagreements with her, probably as we could both be variously described as "opinionated" or "forthright"!!

Always resolved, and I'm betting Leeman also is somewhat lesser without her presence.

RIP Roberta
