Galleria Rusticana
Valle Robaire,

Sadly I have to record that our Mate Rob Gibson passed away in the
early morning of twelve August 2011.

Robs memory will live on in these pages through his imaginative and
creative photography and the thoughts of his many friends throughout the world.
He gained enormous pleasure from Rusticana and as his mobility declined
his world opened up as he steered his Big Mac through an ever expanding archive
creating Galleria after Galleria and adding effortlessly to our amazing group of friends.

Rob delighted in filling in the many gaps in Rusticana caused by my
frequent absences to the far corners and this has maintained a sense of immediacy
and timeliness on the Site.

I will not be able to emulate his achievements in this area although
I will aim as high as I can.

I fondly hope Gentle Viewer that you will come back to Rusticana and
remember with me and all our other friends a great photographer and one of
Natures true Gentlemen.
