I'm jumping the gun here, but only by a few hours. It's Decade Time for Roy, one of our favorites.
He's nothing but positive in his dealings with the rest of us.
The Tarbousier really raised the level of the Forum a few years back, when
he launched the Mussy Nebula series of threads.
He photo-bombed us like nobody ever had, and his warm style made outsiders
and hangers-on feel like they were in the scene right along with the real
participants.
What he did with that series was to draw other creative types out of the
woodwork with their own archival goodies, and many of our most precious
and revered posters can be traced back to Roy, literally. He opened doors
that could never be shut again.
He's got a genre of Trip Reports all his own, too, his Rocky Mountain
Ramble stories.
Can that boy write, or WHAT??
Plus, he's the prime mover/inspiration for all the Shindig/Hullabaloo
energy that's going down these days.(side note: I never even noticed that
Shindig and Hullabaloo were the two simultaneously running TV shows
for the "happening" music scene in the mid-60's, or maybe I was suppressing
the memory).

Wishing you nothing but the BEST, O Western Wear Enthusiast Extraordinaire

I flat out love Roy. I have never met him, but nonetheless--- friends have and do verify such a man exists.

You see there was a question. How could someone this well-spoken, funny, creative cool, friendly, witty and boundary-free, be ours?

Best to You Roy!!!!

(still waiting for that high-end line of Peter Haan handbags by the way)
