HI Susan ---- You have now rehashed the story about Bruce about three times on this board. I told you and I told Bruce that I was NOT speaking about him: I didn't even know him in those days, nor do I know his father. I even offerred the name of the person I was speaking of. Apparently that's not enough for you and you must pre-judge my intentions, although your post is allegedly about not prejudging. I don't know why you must persist in this needless discussion yet again. And if you don't wish to comment on the recent events and the parties involved, then don't. FRANC

I used the example of the rumor that was started about him years ago to exemplify how many times people hear something and jump on the bandwagon as though it was true without having any knowledge of the situation. Also, tar and feathering someone before all the facts have come out. That happens alot in our hobby. As many of you know, I have considered Bruce a friend for many years. I have known him to be a hardworking and upstanding person. My dealings with him have always been great and he has always been honorable. I have defended his position many times on this group and off list, when I felt he was being judged unfairly. I have received emails off list chastizing me for that defense. I could care less what people think. I believe what I believe and don't follow innuendos. I have often felt that sometimes when you are at the top of the heap, you take alot of heat from others, whether sour grapes or mean spiritedness. We have our share of Bruce detractors right here on this group. I have said it many times, that I think Bruce is a large part of why our hobby has become so successfull and that we owe him a debt of gratitude for making all our collections more valuable. If I did not make it clear in my previous post, I want to categorically state that I have never believed the rumors about Bruce. Someone only a couple of weeks ago brought that up again, for the umpteenth time, and then tried to back out of it when Bruce responded to it, stating it was meant to be about a female art dealer even though they clearly said in their post, "his" father in law. Part of the reason I don't post as much as I use to on this group is all the "cattiness" that goes one (and they say women are the gossipers). So, I did want to make that clear. As I said, I have my own opinions and feelings about the current state of these fake posters. But, I dont' feel it is my place to say negative things and call someone out in pulbic until they have had their day. That's it.

Kerry was a very close friend of mine (he even went to my wedding in Peru last year). I'm just as certain that I have privy to AT LEAST as much information as Grey in this matter. For this reason I do not mind calling out Grey (whom I also consider a good friend) on what I think is a very poor decision for continuing to give Jaime business without holding him accountable. If Jaime were to express regret for his actions, show remorse and help with the prosecution of the true bad guys then I would not have problems with this and would use him again myself. Jaime is the only restorer I have used for the past five years, and as it stands now I am looking at other options.

Most of us only know bits and pieces to the real story. I'm sure Grey is privy to way more info than most of us and has made his decisions accordingly.

It will get better. Even though ALL of this is indeed overwhelming it's best to try NOT to panic. I really believe things will stabilize eventually in our hobby. Things will be better. We will learn from ALL of this. Future accountability will help make this hobby better. --Tom Pennock Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
