Hi everyone. I have been away from the board for quite a while and I don't seem to see much from the members that were frequent posters a few years back. Does anyone know what happened to Mary Ann and her husband (who cut such terrific cabs)at stonesthatrock? What about "Rodney" and "secret squirrel at what was mybluerocks.com (I think the name changed to Arizona Lapidary)? what about the member in Virgina Beach who did such gret wirewraps and was a motorcycle enthusiast (or so his pic suggested? And of course the gentleman from Texaas who was a whiz at identification? I'll be sixty in march and I think my memory is going- I can't recall names so well after 3 or 4 years. I'd appreciate any update....
Thanks! Docharber

Mel is Sabres52 from Texas.He is the only one you mentioned that still posts regularly.I often wonder what happened to members who no longer post.This site is a revolving door that keeps on going strong and stays enjoyable,at least for me!Good to see you back. snuffy

Thanks for the update. I'm so sorry to hear about Ralph. He was a real crafstsman. Their son had a terrible four wheeler accident a few years back and had a very long painful convalescence. Mary Ann has had her hands full. She was always seemed such a sweet person. What I got from them was always quality, and always generously priced.
I went looking for Secret squirrel and her husband Rodney- they had a chrysocola claim in Arizona near Bisbee, i think. Always nice material. I looked up Arizona Lapidary and there was an unfamiliar and expensive website (but good stuff) that might be theirs. They've grown their business.
Mel is a great resource for rock ID. I look forward to seeing his posts.
I'm glad to see you're still around!

I'm still around. I just logged in after a spell. Still rockin, but not as much because I am chasing our 5-year old around. Now I have taken to drawing rocks instead of tumbling them. I am still in contact with Stoner here and there. He moved a bit ago.
Jamie (Secret squirrel) is doing good. Still in AZ going strong.
