is the "rumor" true, Galen Armenta "let go"?

i was at Danderzone in visalia and talked with Galen for a few and he said hed be attending Summer Madness in bakersfield.well, summer madness arrived and i did not see him but i did see another photog. saturday i did hear a few guys saying he was layed off, can anyone confirm this, possibly Galen himself? if this is true, it completely sucks, he was a stand up guy, man of his word and just a cool cat to hang with/talk to. damn economy!!!!

Pretty sure it happened a while back...

Heard the same thing a while back, pretty sure it's accurate, but I don't know Galen is on here to respond, Mike however should be able to confirm this.

ya it happened months ago...and you must of known a different gaylen than I

I heard about this a while back. I didn't know him, but his writing style was annoying to me.

He got let go after some back east show that was a week after FF. There's a thread on here about it.
