I just discovered this member who lives near me in south central Texas.
His last activity on the forum was in 2012.
Do any of you oldtimers know what happened to him?
Thanks

Ruben was real active and then went away, he was coming to the fig get together in Lafayette La (3 yrs ago) and for some reason did not show. I seem to remember that he was somehow connected (maybe as a frequent customer) to Fannicks in San Antonio. You might check with the "Landscape Witch" (Alexis) in Austin/Manor area. Her company (The Landscape Witch) does landscaping. I know she had some contact information for Ruben as he was going to ride with her to Lafayette. She also dropped off forum later on. Good luck.

Help me find the thread where members share photos of themselves. I would like to see if Ruben posted to that thread.
Also is Ruben his first or last name? I found some Rubens in Cibilo that retired from military. This corresponds to info on Rubens personal info on this forum.

Jerry He is retired military. Don't know if Ruben is his first or last name. King The fig get together in Lafayette was only held one time. We had the Big Fig Gig here in Marshall the following year, had 200+ people come through.
