Hey Rick,
it is a shame.. (not excusing Joe, simply saying it is).
it happens a lot, it seems .. true talent and trust thrown away
because of the lure of the Almighty Dollar (and not having the
scruples to say no in the first place).

Over 25 years ago, Igor Edelmen here in L.A. was the first
linenbacker/restorer that I can recall. Looking back, his
restoration techniques were fairly primitive (although they seemed
pretty cool at the time!). Then in the early 90's, Joe Hernandez
entered the scene and restoration was taken to the next level. Back
then, I thought Joe was a genius at his craft---brilliant. I still
think so. But apparently he had a darker side that ultimately
ruined his career. Anyway, it's my opinion that like it or not, Joe
set the restoration standard that still exists today, leaving the
old techniques of Igor Edelmen in a trail of dust. Joe had it all
and threw it away, leaving a trail of lies, deceit and thievery
behind him. What a waste of a brilliant talent. I have quite a few
posters on my walls that were linenbacked/restored by Joe in the
early 90's. Back then, he had no match---he was the best. So very
strange that 17 years later, he's a virtual pariah in the hobby.
