I haven't seen a post from Les in years, anyone else heard from him?

No but as he is now retired and may have other "fish to fry" I see no reason why he may make any contact with FADU as such

Unfortunately in these cases the first we may hear about him is sadly his death and even then it is not a certainty unless a photo magazine or newspaper picks it up

He still has a dedicated thread 'Ask Les' on this forum which hasn't been contributed to since 2011 and marked for reference only - the mystery thickens.

This thread seems to indicate that he died in late 2016 or early 2017.

That site was last updated in 2010.
He hasn't visited APUG/Photrio since 2017, and hadn't posted there since 2008

So does anyone know if he had a daughter called Beth? There has to be a few different Les McLeans I'd have thought but one post mentions the Les in question being a Geordie as well as the name of his daughter.

The odds would seem to now favour it being the same Les McLean as the one we know

Post no. 2 on this thread suggests that this forum's Les wasn't the one who died in 2016 or '17. My post no. 7 makes it clear that he wasn't. I have e-mailed Anne Cassidy to ask whether she knows the facts.

and reading this thread would also be an antidote to speculation (there was some of it there too).
