  Never apologize, never explain, right?  At least Boone is dead - I think. 
Maybe try Noriega. He's alive, pocked, and real slime.

 P.S. Garry is free to use this as  letter for TFN is he wishes. I 
was
 disappointed/pissed, though, at Garry's nasty humor at the expense of
 Edward
 James Olmos. Olmos is, from what I've read, a classy person.

 It seemed like it was made in a positive way to me - I can't help 
thinking
 that Olmos himself might have found it funny.

Edward James Olmos IS a very classy person.  I have had the pleasure of
meeting him twice at functions in Los Angeles and talking with him.  He was
very personable and thanked me profusely for telling him how much I admired
not only his movies and Miami Vice, but also his activism in donating his
personal time and money in a lot of educational and societal programs in and
around the Los Angeles basin.

I was told by personal friends of his at one of the functions that he also
donates considerable monies anonymously to specific charities.  Others at
the function, also  told me that he is a very generous man.  He is a class
act from all that I have seen.

t-and-f: TFN's centerfold

2003-01-08 Thread Geoff Pietsch
   Am I alone in hoping that a regular centerfold, like the one of Jorge 
Torres in this month's issue (I get it late - our snails move really 
slowly), will be a regular feature?  I still have a bunch of full-sized 
posters of folks like Brendan Foster and Shorter and Viren that TFN used to 
sell back in the '70s. I wish they were still around, but centerfold photos 
would be good substitutes. Easy for coaches to remove and post on bulletin 
boards.
