RIP Roberta
Submitted by Adam Gallash on Sun, 2017-01-22 18:32
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.

Terrible news and very sad. Always envisaged spotting her at a ramp up on the coral coast after reading the catalogue of info she's provided this forum. RIP Roberta.

Sad news, must admit I did
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

....absolute shocker. Always considered her one of the mainstays of this forum. I was so impressed with the way she soldiered on after Old Fart passed away. We can now be content in the knowledge that they're back together again.
