Former Foro Members Who are Missed

Today we had a query about Anders Elliason from a member who hasn't posted in a long time. That got me thinking about some former members who have dropped off the radar but when they posted regularly, really added thoughtful ideas and opinions about flamenco, Spain, and various off-topic subjects. Two, especially, come to mind. One was an attorney who posted under the name gj michelob (his name was Giacomo), who divided his time between New York and San Francisco. He was the resident attorney when any question about copyright infringement and other issues of that nature came up. He also had good ideas concerning flamenco and various other issues that arose. One of the most interesting members of the Foro. He added a lot to the discussions. The other was Kate, who lived with her husband in Granada. Her husband was involved in managing to put together some flamenco performances. Kate always had interesting observations on flamenco, Andalusia, and Spain in general. Like gj michelob, Kate added a lot to the Foro. As I recall, Kate had a university degree in Spanish history. Neither has posted in years, but I always appreciated their comments and observations. Bill

In addition to gj michelob, Kate, and others mentioned in this thread, I miss El Kiko's postings. El Kiko claimed to be of Portuguese descent, living in "Southern Ireland." He occasionally exhibited a strong sense of both satire and irony in his posts, and they were always interesting to read. He last posted several years ago. As I recall, he had just begun a new job and was going offline for awhile, but, unfortunately, he never came back. Bill
