Nickaroo, I am sorry for your travails - I get that you have had and are still having a difficult life, and no one has said you are ignorant. But this is a simple: rudeness is not OK, and a number of the things you said about Paul are simply untrue and easily checked. With all due respect, I would suggest you check your facts and apologize. Simple and done.

Cheers

Thank You Very Much For the Information, MR. Teacher and I think that You will still be Teaching because You Have It In Your Heart and Soul. I feel that You have made a difference in so many Young Hearts and Minds. I retired from being a Federal Agent chasing down Drug Pushers, that was in 2014. Well, You know of my Health and How Bad that it is, well I'm still at it as I just can't sit back and watch Our Kids Die from Fentanyl Overdoses. And You will Never Be Able to Stop Teaching, It defines You and You are one of the Most Genuine Person that I have Ever Met, and For that Alone Sir, I Tip My Hat To You. I Love Your Comments and Stories where You can Back them up through Your Experience and Professionalism. Good Luck To You In Your Retirement and I will expect that You Will Continue to Straighten this Old Drug Cop Out. TY-The Nickster.

You Must Attend This. I might Be There and Would Love To Team Up With You Or Meet You In Person and Really Pick Your Memorized Brain That Is Full Of So Much Knowledge.

I apologized to Paul Tonight On a Different Thread. It was wrong for me to lash out at Him Like I did. I'am not a cruel person, but sometimes I just get into the Bad Zone and Dark Spots in My Life. When I'am Wrong I will admit it. I actually like Paul and I feel that He is A Great Photog that has a vast Knowledge to share and He Has Done it With ME Before. I was very dumb and inconsiderate of How he would feel by Me Doing What I did, somehow I had my Screen Display still up and when I got back for Dinner, Let's say that My Wife kind of jumped me because she said that she has never seen me act this way. She also said that I'am still Living and I have to accept what Happened to My Sons and the Fact that they wanted us to be Married on the Day Before My Son went into action. She got to Hug Him and tell Him How Much I loved Him, but I was at The University of Michigan because His Younger Brother was on a Ventilator, Boy I would Love to go back in time and just be able to shoot the dirt with Him. He passed on a Full-Ride to go to Duke University on a Scholastic Scholarship to Serve Our Country. Well, He did and when 9/11 hit, As I watched those Jets go into the Twin Towers from My Cousin's Balcony, I knew it was not going to end well, chalk it up to Father's Intuition. He was A Trained Sniper for The Ranger's, so I knew when He Called me and Told Me That He Was Finally going To Use His Skills, it was not Him as He Would never Talk like that so I thought. They cut off the Phones as I was trying to tell Him that I loved Him. He never got the chance to come Home on Leave as Him and His Best Friend Volunteered to Take the Dogs Out to check for mines, His Friend had lost His Father Many Years ago and they lived 3 Houses down from mine. The rest is History even though I remember the Car Pulling into the Driveway while I had the Guys in the Garage telling them How Proud I was of my Son. Thank You for Your Thoughts and again My Actions Were Uncalled For In Regards to CHG_Canon. He is a Brilliant Man and Who Am I to Say Otherwise.

All that I can say is That I'am Truly Sorry For My Comments. Even though I have seen worse, it still did not give me the right to say what said on this thread. I'am not Hateful towards anyone in this Forum. If you read any of my threads, then you will see who I'am in the truest sense of the word. The Admins. do I great Job and Service for us to be able to speak about all things Photography. And sometimes people get a little hot-headed, but that does not give me the right to follow that Behavior. So, I'am Truly Sorry for my comments directed at CHG_Canon and for my Fellow UHH'rs to have to see what I said.

I can understand.

I understand, and again, I am SO sorry for your losses. I cannot imagine losing a child - I don’t know how anyone survives that.

Be well,

Wow. I'm speechless. Thanks!

My best work has always been an act of love. Sometimes that's naive, or downright stupid, but I don't know any other way. I can't do what I don't believe in doing. If you do what you love and believe in, it is not work. It's effective play that also pays the bills.

I don't think of myself so much as a teacher, but as a communicator, and as an enabler. My life's motto has been to turn worthy thoughts into the right words and grounding images that lead people to appropriate actions. That was my role in radio, in AV production, in project management, in systems management, in marketing, in production management, and in training. It's been my role in parenthood, too, in my best moments.

If I've helped you learn and do something better, I'm grateful for the opportunity. Thanks for your kindness.
