Isn't it interesting to compare the reactions of the people who
actually knew him to the embarrassingly sad and disgusting comments
that were made here?

Sometime ago, I noticed a discrepenacy on the ALDF website. I e-mailed
to them and the CDC asking for clarification.

I got a quick reply from the CDC saying that the ALDF was "wrong" if
their website maintained what it did...and so I thought I would have
some fun with the ALDF and CDC, by bouncing back and forth and seeing
if I could start something, more or less...

....instead, I received a response from Weld, saying that the site was
indeed, incorrect as I had pointed out...and that it would be corrected
in the near future (it was)...and thanking me for pointing it out.
Quite the gentleman, and not at all what I had been led by others to
expect.

Later, I came here...and asked a question of Kathleen...(need I say
more)?

It is actually possible to disagree without being disagreeable.
