Cheers, Zebu. I can see now why Bazile didn't return to explain his 'joke'. ;-)

sorry, here's an archived link, Spicerack

He retracted it. Guess it wasn't considered a hill to die on. Then or now.

he didn't retract it, he ran the lawyer's letter but didn't change what he'd written.

White man(or woman in this case) speak with forked tongue. :))


P.S. Spike ... have you read the recently posted article by J.B. Shurk? Not a joke question but the article is hilarious. I cannot post the link. It would be taken down, but you know on which sites to look for it.

[Spicerack]

He said the lawyers letter was a clarification.

[See clarification below on Ms. Littlefeather.]


Why you'd scour the internet to try and debunk the story is a mystery.
Are you really in favour of frauds adopting the ethnicities of other people.
What a weird person you are.

[Spicerack]

To be honest I'd never heard of him, Togo.
I've now read his last 3 articles and look forward to reading everything (time permitting ;-)) he's written.

debunk what story? I remember the obituary; it caused a stir at the time. I have no idea what the truth is; clearly she had been told a different story about her father from the ones her sisters had, but that does happen in families. You're welcome to believe her sisters if you wish, particularly if you know them well.
