You're right Bill. Jamie shouldn't be slagged for his participation in a private photographic joke. And I still think you're a good guy in spite of a minor misjudgment. Beside this is being interpreted incorrectly. Jamie was attempting a high-five, but like me, not all of his aging fingers always open open quickly enough.

F--- you." Mr. Bothwell goes down several notches in my book, and you haven't helped yourself either." Dear Friends , I guess my heart looks at thinks differently than some others, but the image of Jamie giving money to our LVSG treasurer for his dues with Jamie trying to be funny! Actually, he was funny and we love Jamie for his happy sometimes screwy way of doing things. Never in my life have I ever been attacked on this S list [or otherwise] because of someone else's poor inept concept of what we in our club considered a funny image. Frankly, I'm insulted and disappointed in those of you who think that I put something out in such a low bawdy manner. It's not my thing to do, in my 60 years as a S Gauger I've always been more then generous in my giving and thoughts of all S modelers. Besides, Jamie Bothwell had nothing to do with this incident, I accept full responsibility. But then what would you expect? We are in S Scale! "S"incerely, Bill FRaley Try liking this image of Jamie!
