Don Kogan

[sylvia180]

I visited Gemstone Gav in Chanthaburi in February and asked him where big Don had gone. He said he had retired due to ill health, and that all the other original people like Debbie, Steve etc had moved on due to difference of opinions.

It sounds as if he wasn't far behind the exodus himself!

Now that's very strange - it's common knowledge that Don Kogan is behind this new channel with some others I believe! Must have recovered then :Laughing1:

 

[Marble]

Is it common knowledge, though, or rumour?

How do people know categorically that he is behind it? I couldn't find anything online ... then again, I'm not the best googler in town!

 

[Beady Belle]

Where did you find that out from Klos?

:doggie:

Meesh posted about it a week or so back and said that Don Kogen and Gemstone Gav are behind the venture. Gav has posted in the Rocks&Co threads.

Thanks Jacqualina, been away so missed that. Will go and have a look.

I pride myself on being a pretty good googler and I couldn't find anything either :5:

 

[cherrypicker]

does the orginal poster refere to gems tv or this new venture? I thought seeing as she spoke to gav in feb she ment gems tv .....???

 

[Ballerina]

It did say he had retired due to ill health / personal reasons on any web sites mentioning his departure from gems.

For personal reasons I was not sad to see him go - he made me sick!

So now he's back...... heading a company with a name very similar to SB's

Imaginative fellow - Ho hummm

How do we know it's him and not a hoaxer ardent for some desperate glory?

Gav is the real thing!

Thanks for clearing that up Graham.
