never mind, it works with simple addition of Anthony's line to view.  What 
was causing error was view reference to first_name 

 <td>{{=objectComment.created_by.first_name}} 
{{=objectComment.created_by.last_name 
}}: </td><td>testing: {{=objectComment.created_by}}</td>

controller didn't have to be changed

def person_represent(id, r):
    row = db((db.auth_user.id==db.SuperObjectComment.created_by) 
            ).select().first()
    return '%s %s %s' % (row.auth_user.first_name, row.auth_user.last_name, 
row.auth_user.currentPosition)
db.SuperObjectComment.created_by.represent = person_represent


much appreciated!

Alex
