EDIT TO ADD: Here is a pic of Pinboy3Niner before he passed:

I'm really going to miss Bob. He was such a nice man and so funny. If you knew him in RL, you are quite fortunate.

Great idea for a thread. The pic of Bob was a keeper-his humanity and love shines through.

I went to college for film and she's a vegan cook. We're really considering making an internet vegan cooking show.

Are me and Steve the only ones that are gonna show the face behind the screen name?

I feel this is important, it adds humanity to the screen names. We're real people in this very real community of DU.

People have to dig up photos and make sure they are on the correct site, etc.
