Many of you knew about the Rockhound Station and were members. I was the one and only mod other that Sal who was the administrator. Recently the site went off line with no warning. I have been unable to get a hold of either Sal or her family. I know that Sal was really sick and I suspect that she is now gone. I have no member info other than 2 people. I do not think that the site is going to come back and the host will not return my inquiries.
We had a wonderful thing going for a long time.

In my last email exchange with her about two years ago she told me she was in the process of moving to Oakridge OR. I've searched for an obit but can't find anything conclusive.

Mark K , do you have her true first and last name? You might try the Social Security Death Index. www.genealogybank.com/explore/ssdi/allETA: Oops, nevermind. It looks like it might only show public records until March 2014. It won't do any good. I think I have her first and last name from a domain record search. I'll look around a bit to see if I can find anything.

She was living with her sister close to Reno last time I talked to her. Sorry to hear.

Keep in mind that I do not know whether she died or not. Everything may be ok and she just pulled the plug. I doubt she would do it without letting me know though.

It was the most obvious search to do considering the circumstances. I poked around a bit and haven't had much luck. Too common a name. If you can pass me along a city that she used to live in, I can give it another go if you'd like.

If you can pass me along a city that she used to live in, I can give it another go if you'd like. aDave - all of her emails just say "Sally Taylor" and yes it's a pretty common name. I met her in the summer of 2016 and at the time she said she was living in Silver Springs Nevada but was in the process of moving. In my subsequent email exchanges with her in 2017 she said this: So with Tony saying she was staying in Reno the move she told me about could have been from Reno to Oakridge. She also told me that she had a sister, a niece, and a nephew "that are strung between Stockton and Sacramento."

There was a Stockton address on her domain registration, but I can't seem to place her there. Maybe it's the family that you mentioned. If I get a bit of down time later, I'll take another look since you were able to offer up some cities.

I don't know her, but I did a little search and turned up her LinkedIn page:

Hope Sal is alive and well. Sorry to hear about the forum but I stopped going to that forum several years ago, just didn't have enough time or inclination.
