Your opinion

Trinity gets big play in DC because Andy Pollin, who is one of the guys on the WTEM "all Redskins all the time" sports radio (and also one of Tony Kornheiser's producers) went there. I think the game is being broadcast on WTEM tomorrow.

Learn something new everyday I guess... Based on Pollin's resume online, it looks like he was there about ten years before I was. He started in radio in 1981 in Dallas, probably right after graduation... back when Trinity was still a party school for rich kids...

 

It's funny, the guys of that generation all joke they wouldn't even be able to get in any more... The admission standards are quite a bit different now...

 

I might have to listen to the second half on WTEM online when I get to the shop tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

 

And people thought the Butthole Surfers were the coolest thing to come out of Trinity...

If you can't get it on WTEM, go to the "official" Division 3 Football web page/audio stream.

Seems I always catch up with these threads days after they're started...

 

I have no bone to pick with Mark Wilson, and did not say that he cleaned most of the Rockfords. I seriously doubt he touched many of them. I have not seen but a small fraction of purple label Rockfords--and of course anyone owning them after Wilson could have done the work. Yes, he did clean books during the 90's. But consider that Bill Sarill was trimming books in the 80's, and people were repairing books with tape before that. It's an evolving process.

 

Cleaning was a main topic of debate during the 90's, with many people falling on both sides of the fence. I'm led to believe that, right or wrong, Mark simply thought cleaning was not considered restoration during that time. Maybe he can throw his opinion up here.

I need to know this as well. I have a book that has saran wrap taped to the front cover. ICK! I can't see slabbing it like that! Imaging grader notes on that puppy? "Plastic film taped to front cover"! Bleh.

[ablue]

I am sorry to have brought this up!

I like Mark and have nothing but the best for him. I just brought up a statement.

No intention made.

Also Matt is a fine restorer and I would not want to impose bad news in his name.

I just thought this was a disscussion thread.

Again I am sorry but I just wanted to get some facts straight thats all.

I would deal with Mark anyday too...

Whatever, much ado about nothing as per usual....

Did you expect any less from this guy? Starts up blazing in all his threads but they all end up with the guy wimpering away!

[Rickdogg]

on a comic book???

[BachelorOfComix]

It is both funny & pathetic at the same time. I grow weary of Little Boy Ablue's act....

[BachelorOfComix]

Look guys I could post the last e-mail Matt sent me but I don't want to cause more heat.

So Blame me!! OK!!?? I am the wrong menace and manipulator I should be hung to dry!

But in the end I know that I did not lie!

I only wanted some feedback.

Ok??

[greggy]

Blah blah blah. Bye ablue! I'll miss you!

[Rickdogg]

[murph0]
