| Mr. JR:
According to the banner that was at the show, the club was formed in 1959...
Before he kicked me out, Mr. Finnegan told me some interesting stories about some of the members of the club when he came on the scene...
It was when I said " I've never met JR, but I think he's one of the good guys, and I respect his knowledge" that he went ballistic...
Actually, I also said that our philosophies differed a little in that I didn't think that everyone is suited to showing koi...and that lit his fuse...and I got the "YOUR KIND" speech...
Galen showed up about that time and smoothed things out...I did get the last word in though, I told Bob that he better settle down because I was not going to give him mouth to mouth if he had a heart attack...
A minute later he stood up too fast, from a kneeling position next to the judging tank, the blood rushed to his head, and he started staggering around...I thought Sh*t, now I have to go back on my word and start pumping his chest...I figured Galen could give him the mouth to mouth...Was kinda funny, but you had to be there... :lol:
The evening did end on a positive note, thanks to Dr. Hansen...
Since this thread is supposed to be about salt, I guess this is where I say "Bob Finnegan is a salty old curmudgeon”
