Re: Jay Wimer Has Passed

He was the guy who let my son and I sleep on the floor of his store when we found ourselves camping in colder weather than we anticipated...

He was they guy who, totally unsolicited, sent me a baby Graphlex, film, and developing tank when I happened to mention on the Goat that my grand-daughter was interested in film photography...

A few good convenes in Foster's dining room, discussing the railroad and mainframe computing...

I sold him my 1902 Eastman 8x10, he got a few good captures with it, and he gave it back to me for free after his recent stroke, anticipating the inevitable.

I realize some of you have had run-ins with Jay, but I want to make sure it's known that, observed from my perch, he put his heart into everything that he took on.

About six months ago, Jay gave myself and another person admin privileges for goatbbs.com and chamasteam.com. After an appropriate period, and after the estate does its duty, we'll have a discussion on what to do with The Goat. But we'll have it there, not here.
