Sad news, I was in touch with him for a while, but Facebook deleted me permanently for pointing out information on the FDA and CDC websites that did not sit well with them ....

Had to make a whole new account, got banned on the twwweeeter thing too

I like Vince, and miss him.

Thanks for letting us know

The Campfire / RIP Vincent Grittani

Sorry to have just heard about the passing of Vince. He was one of the first ones on this forum, on this journey. I helped him make contact with a woman in Changsha, to try and circumvent the agencies. We kept in touch on Facebook, and it was interesting to share stories of organising our workshops and doing DIY and building stuff. I know he had had some recent hospital stays, but was surprised that he had gone. Rest in peace.

As an added point...if it is who I think it is, they haven't been here since February 2019.

Nope, not maxx the phony, I have no fear, or care for that guy, once he outed himself

maybe look around and see who the bully is?

I still am not 100% sure I know who it is...but I have a suspicion.  Either way, I don't think they are here any more.  I'd love to hear how people are getting along, and where life has taken them.  As far this site goes, this is Robert Snelgrove's page, and if he doesn't like the direction that things are going, I am sure that he will take care of things.

Can you send me a PM?  I don’t know who you are talking about…maybe I’ve been gone too long. But rather than post it for the world to see, if you could send me a PM and let me know who?

I know ... and I agree with Shaun, certain people are just looking to make trouble for others ...

I feel that PAIN

15 years is a lot of water under the bridge, and a lot has changed

Martin,

maybe we should all start coming back here, and get things rolling again.  It would be good to touch base with some of the guys.

I don't really disagree with you to a certain extent however there are some that need to be banned.  Almost every old timer knows of whom I speak.  10 years lost of being together with my wife for me.  Forgive? yes.  Trust? Hell no.  Put myself out there again or be friends with? Never.   There are others that feel the same way as I and just don't visit here anymore.

I really would like to see this site do better, there are times I could use some valuable advice from an experienced member but would never ask here because of 1 person.
It is an issue of trust.

Hi Martin
nice to see someone coming in from time to time. the good days when there was much activity i do miss them think many now have moved on and I hope leading good lives with their Chinese wife i sure hope so, it's a pity we shall never know how things have turned out for many, I do have a friend who was a member here unfortunately he died. 
As for me everything is good and my wife is doing well, I'm retired now we hope the future will be back in Chengdu. fingers crossed
regards Joe

Hi Joe...maybe we should all start coming back here, and get things rolling again.  It would be good to touch base with some of the guys.  All of you played a pretty important role in my life for quite some time.

Hi all. Just thought I would drop a line here, to see if anyone was still out and about, and reading these messages?  It’s been a few years since I was here as well. Be great to hear from some of the old gang.


Mike the NY'er is now in Austin, Texas

My wife and I recently celebrated 14 years of marriage .... so that's good

Mike

Good to hear Mike the ex NY'er turned Texan.  14 years is wonderful news to read.  Ive been looking at some of the old posts, and boy, some of them are sure depressing.  So it's good to read some positive.
