What kind of question is that? - The situation, 'IT'(whatever IT is) is quite UNfortunate for everyone involved - appearently, nobody wins. It stinks . . . just looks bad.Of course, I do not (none of us) like(s) the prospect of (our combined group) speculation(s) over the past week. There are multiple sides to every equation. I would not (honestly cannot) speak for others - none of us, have all the facts. In my case one foot IS in the circle and one appears to be on the outside.
Personnaly (I am fortunate to say) Ralph and I are friends . . . largely on the basis of a number of hobbies (or passions), interests that come later (a richness) in life filled with memorable - peak experiences. Travel (seeing our world), the outdoors (real hiking), photograhpy (Canons' of course) ;-) both of us have worked nearly every *#?!!#* CES for the past +20 years (he of course longer). He is the type of person (or people) that I am drawn to. I have learned a lot, from this great man!
He perhaps strangely, (or as a metaphor) is much like the fabulous gear . . .
that he has concieved (for years) honest, real, upfront, articulate and emotional ([or better]capable of conveying great emotion). His ONLY potential 'FLAW' that I could mention (I have told him this), he IS always right dammit! Thank GOD he has that honesty/modesty thing (maybe Mina-sotin) thing goin on . . . Ralph would never (my endless praise) go to his head . . .How do I feel about this . . . I am upset on a number of levels (practically/literally makes me sick) I am sorry - you asked - that being said - I will do the right thing by our friend.
