I would like to take this opportunity to make an apology to Phideaux, which we call Jim. Jim showed on a photo the damage he sustained in an industrial accident. He now shoots left handed. I made a remark, and after some thought, my remark seems crass. I also suffered an injury to my right hand although not quite as bad as Jim's. I tried to make light of it, and was not in any way trying to sound like a smart azz or chide him in anyway, however it can be taken that way. I also have some physical disabilities and as we age I believe that is part of the process however we should not make light of them. I was injured myself in an auto accident whereas my back is shot and I can only stand for about 1-2 hours before I have to rest. I am loosing my perspective here so let finish by saying this. Jim, my intent was NEVER to chide, harm or to cause you any indignation or hurt. My statement was insensitive and that is not the reason we are on this sight. This is supposed to be a family gathering and for that reason, I feel the need to convey my best wishes to him. Since I have been on this sight, Jim has given me the upmost respect and I relish that and savor that when I first joined. So Jim, if you can find it in your heart, please accept this as my apology to you and to others who found my statement stupid and unacceptable. I can assure you that it will never happen again. Your friend and I hope still buddy,
Tommy
