Here are other, non-artist friends of Rob in Miami from the early '90s to present.

Terry Jackson

Miami Beach, 1991

Terry Jackson

Terry was a dancer/choreographer that I met in the early '90s.  He posed for my Couch Study that was published in a nudist magazine, and I did other nude studies of him at his apartment in South Beach.  He would visit with me and Brenda at our apartment on SoBe at the time and we would often have breakfast together at Denny's. 
 
When we moved to Gainesville in 1991, I lost contact with Terry, but indications are that he passed away. 

Carlos & Rob

Carlos Alvarez

Carlos and I met at Haulover Beach in July 2002 and became friends.  We posed together at the nude beach and that picture was published in a gay nudist magazine with an article about the attraction of older men and younger men. 

Rob and Ray June 29, 2006

Ray's Last day at MACtown

I first met Ray Nagel at a conference in Miami on Relationships among Developmentally Disabled in April 1998.  A year and a half later I was filling out an application at MACtown, where Ray was the Administrator.  He came out of his office and saw me (remembered me) and had me come in on the spot for an interview (the infamous cut-off shorts, sweaty T-shirt interview). 
 
He was my boss for the past 8 years and also my friend.  He got a better position in Maine, where he prefers to live and this pic was the only one of us together, taken on the last day I saw him in Miami.  I will miss him.

Rob & Raul

Miami Beach April 2008

Raul and I hadn't seen each other in a few years, not since before I broke my leg in 2005.  There have been lots of changes in his life and he is now living alone.  We spent the day catching up and reliving some of our good times together.

Raul and Sylvia

Raul Rivas and Sylvia Maltzman, were a couple that I have known since returning to Miami Beach in 1996.  Sylvia, a Wiccan, has written several published articles.

Mark and I met at Body Positive Resource Center, where I was offering massages in the late '90s.  We became friends and visited at each other's apartment.  Mark posed for some of my nude fotografy, as well as some glamor shots on this day.
 
Mark died in February 2001.

Jose and Jake

Jose and Jake

I met Jose and Jake in the late '90s, and have visited them at their home in the Grove as well as seeing them at Haulover Beach, where this pic was taken in January 2004. 
 
Sadly, I recently learned in 2006 that Jose had passed away.  I will miss his effervescence and humor.
