Kasey Kahne being sued for over $15,000 for Homestead incident
Kasey Kahne is being sued by Archibald Hutchison, the security guard he allegedly shoved to the ground, for in excess of $15,000 in civil court.
According to a Homestead police report, Kahne was attempting to access a restricted recreational vehicle parking lot on a golf cart after he finished driving his racecar when Hutchison stopped him and asked him for credentials. Kahne stated that he was a driver and didn't need any, then got out of the golf cart and tried to walk through the gate, the report stated. When Hutchison blocked the entrance and asked Kahne for credentials again, Kahne pushed Hutchison to the ground, according to the report.
Also according to the report, Hutchison hasn't been able to return to work since the incident. I've read many articles on this and most say he suffered minor bruises and abrasions, but a NASCAR.com article has the guys lawyer saying he has a tear in his lumbar spine. Even the police report stated he was treated at the facility at the race track for minor bruises and abrasions. Hutchison is also claiming that he is getting blasted by NASCAR fans over this incident.
The lawsuit however states it differently, saying Hutchison suffered severe physical injuries, which I thought was interesting since everything else I read kept saying minor.
But the injuries, whether being minor or severe isn't the only thing Kahne is being sued for. There is a laundry list, so to speak, of what Hutchison suffered...
- Bodily Injury
- Pain and Suffering
- Disability
- Physical Impairment
- Disfigurement
- Mental Anguish
- Inconvenience
- Loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life
- Aggravation of an existing disease or physical defect
- Activation of a latent disease or physical defect
- Expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment in the past
- Expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment to be so obtained in the future
- Earnings lost in the past
- Loss of ability to earn money in the future
OK, first of all, I'm not sure how severe his injuries were, the lawsuit states severe, but everything else, including the police report state that he was treated for minor bruises and abrasions, other than what the lawyer mentioned in the NASCAR article. I was a bit surprised to see all the "charges", normally when you see a list like that in a civil suit, the injured party usually suffered from a horrific accident or a medical blunder, not a "shove". The lawyer also keeps mentioning the fact that his client didn't suffer just physical injuries, but emotional injuries too.
Should Kahne have "shoved" this security guard? No, he shouldn't have, but as to the lawsuit, it seems to be blowing everything out of proportion, especially when the only place it seems to state severe injuries is the lawsuit itself.
Your thoughts?

Comments
I just want to say that to every one of you that think Kasey is a "prick" and that he goes around pushing old people, you all are a bunch of dumb asses.
If anyone in NASCAR is a prick, his name is Tony Stewart.
Alot of people has met Kasey and they all say the same thing. He is shy, quiet, and emotional.
That guard is just too fat and lazy and doesn't want to work.
Enough said, you guys are fools for running your mouth on something you don't know.

Jon,
It's a sport thing. Tempers and passions flare. Things get out of hand. Gordon ain't the first person ever to shove another competitor at a sporting event. Happens in most sporting venues, all the time in pro football, almost every play.
Not an apples to apples comparison.
Ya need to come up with something better'n that. Competitors shoving each other at a sporting event is seldom if ever prosecuted as an assault matter. How about hockey, players bloodied with broken noses, ever hear about any of them being criminalized or prosecuted for assault. Suspended, yes, prosecuted, no.
Posted by: Jon2 | Dec 27, 2007 10:12:14 AM
Jon2,
You can make all kinds of excuses for Gordon's behavior and yet you act like Kasey Kahne is a criminal for doing the very same thing Kasey did, that is pretty hypocritical of you. But, we have seen this all the time from you Jeffy lovers.
Posted by: Jon | Dec 26, 2007 11:59:55 PM
I had to put in my 2 cents. The security guard wasn't "elderly" at 62. If he was in such bad shape that a fall could cause that much injury, what was he doing working as a "rent-a-cop" anyway??? This kind of individual lives for a reason to sue. While Kasey may have been wrong to shove the guy, the incident doesn't deserve this much attention and the law suit should be dismissed as frivolous. Fine Kasey if necessary but for pete's sake, don't give the Barney Fife money for something so petty!
Posted by: MrsMerc | Dec 25, 2007 2:13:14 PM
I get your point, Jon. But do you think those other guards {police officers} are gonna go against another brother as well? I see your point, and I guess it is kinda useless to even argue the point. Kale will stand behind his brother, as well as the officers standing behind Mr. Hutchinson. We will have to see the outcome of the court. If the story does come out. Have a Merry Christmas.

Jon,
Jeff's encounter with Matt was more like "fog of the battle." Little too much testosterone, etc. Sort of like hockey fighting, pushing and shoving in basketball. Not an apples to apples comparison in my book related to our dear mistreated fellow, Mr. Hutchison.
Now if Jeff pushed an old feeble man, who was on that wall protecting mankind, like Kasey did, he needs to get out his checkbook and hire himself a good lawyer.
What else would you expect from family? It was my bro's fault, the old man is innocent? How naive some people can be.
Just got back from Gander Mtn, bought some deer corn to feed the critters, a lot of people buying firearms today, 2nd amendment is alive and well in the good ol' USA.
Posted by: Jon2 | Dec 24, 2007 12:35:23 PM
Lets see, the other people there side with the guard and Kale Kahne sides with his brother. Do you recall the saying "blood is thicker than water". Whose coat tail is Kale riding on?
Posted by: jeff | Dec 24, 2007 9:54:23 AM
Jeff, We are not real sure just what Kasey actually did. We know what we are being told, but there are 2 different stories one that right now. One says he shoved the victim twice real fast and caused a lot of injuries, both physical and emotional. The other says after letting drivers in all day without checking credentials, was odered by his boss to get off his chair and start checking everybody. After Kasey comes in from the track he his grabbed by the victim, Kasey removed the victims hands from his person and in the process the victim hit the ground. If Kasey is found guilty he will have to pay and as a fan I will be fine with that. However Kasey did not go to the gate to purposely knock this guard{who outweighs him by at least 50-100 lbs} down.
Posted by: Graceann | Dec 23, 2007 10:57:17 PM
Again, read my comment. What Gordon did was wrong. What Kasey did is totally unexcusable.
Posted by: jeff | Dec 23, 2007 6:33:39 PM
Jeff,
I read your post and there is no difference between what Kasey was being accused of doing and what Gordon did to Kenseth. We will never know the actual circumstances surrounding the incident and as I said in the end Kasey will sign a nice size check to Mr. Hutchinson and it will be over.
Posted by: Jon | Dec 23, 2007 6:00:10 PM
Jon, if you read my post again after taking off the "Hater Glasses", you will see I said what Gordon did was as wrong as what Cousin Carl did. With that being said. If I happen to see a 20 something young man push down a 60 year old man for doing his job, I will kick is "punk" ass myself. I would hope anyone else on this blog with any balls, excuse me ladies, would do the same. Remember, that might happen to your Dad or even you when you get that age.
Posted by: jeff | Dec 23, 2007 5:08:13 PM
Grace,
No kidding, you know the actually story is far from being told in the media. When it is all said and done Kasey will pay a small amount of cash for his actions and the man will not work at the track anymore.
Posted by: Jon | Dec 23, 2007 11:12:20 AM
Jeff,
How did I know you were going to defend Jeffy for doing the very same thing, you only served to prove my point, you Gordon fans will excuse anything he does, pretty sad if you asl me.
Posted by: Jon | Dec 23, 2007 11:09:19 AM
I say Gillett has some lawyers that will blow these ambulance chasers away. The truth will come out and Kasey will come out of this smelling like a rose! LOL Been to a Christmas Party. Can you tell? Seriously though, the last article I read said this guard had been letting drivers in all day without their credentials, then his boss instructed him to get off the chair and start checking them. Wonder how many times Kahne went through without them before he was checked?
Posted by: Graceann | Dec 23, 2007 12:59:54 AM
Pushing a fellow competitor, even though its wrong is not that same as shoving a 60 year old man to the ground who is trying to do his job no matter how meaningless it might be to you. Take off your rose colored hater glasses. The guy must have had a 24 or 48 hat on for you to get your panties in such a tight wad.
Posted by: jeff | Dec 23, 2007 12:58:25 AM
Jon, Valid point on all accounts, you know your wasting your breath( hell i do alot with the damn Fantasy Island folks).
Jeff, WTF did it come from Kasey is now a thug?
Also love to hear you take on what Jon said... Jeff acted like a "vicious beast" with his "show of aggression " to Matt Kenesth, but thats right Jeff Gordon does listen to rap music and in fact has in the past had some of the "gangstas" with him
Guess thats the new slogan
Drive for 5, Thug Life style.. Yeah Boi....
You and J2, wow, 2 peas in a pod...
Posted by: Kurt2 | Dec 22, 2007 7:18:37 PM
Jeff,
What about convicted felons? Kasey Kahne is far from a thug and if you think he is for that then you would have to count Jeff Gordon as a thug for attacking Kenseth.
Posted by: Jon | Dec 22, 2007 6:30:32 PM
There is no room for "thugs" in NASCAR no matter what their last name is. If you like thugs, become a rapper.
Posted by: jeff | Dec 22, 2007 5:46:26 PM
Aggie,
I can tell you after reading your post that the moron lady and jury that actually awarded her money for being stupid doesn't represent all of us Oklahoman's.
I decided to chime in on this post about the frivelous lawsuit and the typical response by Jon2. Had it been his beloved Jeffy or Jimmie he would be backing them up 100% and not be claiming that Kasey shouldn't have beat him up. Obviously the actual facts surrounding the incident will not be told so we will be stuck discussing mostly the side of the Mr. Hutchinson. In light on the numerous situations that have be falsely reported regarding Tony Stewart this one will be much the same. Mr. Hutchinson will never admit to the actual circumstnaces as it will prevent him from collecting the big check that he is searching for.
Posted by: Jon | Dec 22, 2007 1:36:57 PM
What are we going to see a Barrett-Jackson produced today in 38 years? Will any cars built today last that long or will they be worth that much? The future is now. I know I don't want to live in the "New China" because thats where we are headed. Thanks to greedy Corporate America and greedy politicans. Harley Davidsons forever!!
Posted by: jeff | Dec 22, 2007 11:53:11 AM
Aggie, thanks for the boost, and you are right. We, as a country, are still the greatest, but even the greatest can fall as history has shown; so in order to be great and stay great we need to take an objective look at our shortcomings and try to fix them. Those who take advantage of others' misfortunes, those who seek to profit from those misfortunes, and draw the unfortunate even further down do nothing to promote our country's image. They are the rotten apples that ultimately sour the whole barrel. We need to recognize what needs changing and fixing, and have the willpower and moral strength to do it. All great powers have ultimately given in to greed, graft, and immorality and the result was not good. I hope your Christmas is wonderful, and that you get just enough snow to have a White Christmas, but not so much that you are stranded. I still miss the snow at Christmas time, but it's no fun to get stuck in a snowbank. Take care and we'll hope the New Year brings great things for all of us. and that the situation between KK and Mr. Archibald can be fairly settled.

Posted by: aggie | Dec 21, 2007 11:10:08 PM
Aggie, I he is not a great impersonator. The poor fellow was shown on tv, {courtesy of police video} you know men really have a tough time in women's high heels. Oh, I forgot he is bowlegged as well, not a pretty sight. I did not know whether to laugh at him or be furious.
Posted by: Graceann | Dec 21, 2007 10:32:48 PM
Aggie, tell me you made up everything except the Stella story, because I know that one is true. It should become a classic in idiocy. The other stories would be laughable and entertaining if they were not such an appalling symptom of our sick society today. As it is, they are scary to put it mildly and terrifying if one really thinks about it. After reading all of them, I really feel that Kasey doesn't have a chance in his situation. As I said earlier, there is much we don't know about this incident,and we probably will never know it all. So, since we're playing with less than a half deck here, maybe it would be best if we all try to enjoy the peace of the Christmas season, hope that God in his wisdom will intercede for the one who is innocent or maybe less guilty, and that the new year will bring some sense of sanity to a society that is trying its best to annihilate itself. Aggie, I don't know whether to thank you for the insight or wish that you had never written those stories, because if they are true, we, as a nation are further down the slippery slope than even I thought, and the crash is imminent.
Merry Christmas to all, and I hope that the New Year will bring some more uplifting stories and happenings that what we have seen this year. We can always hope anyway.

He was dressed as a woman
this guy is:
a, a wacko
b, has one heck of a sense of humour or is a great female impersonater
or c a great example of wrong place at the wrong time...look at the posistive he dint get hurt!!
Posted by: aggie | Dec 21, 2007 10:03:19 PM
Well we jumped to the same conclusion as everyone else would in this situation. Especially with your children involved, seems he was on his way to a Halloween party, en-route stopped to collect rent. Police noticed nice looking vehicle with a white male in it. Seemed strange in this neighborhood, even stranger when they heard his story, they did not believe him and issued him a ticket. Somehow within hours the story leaked out and was in the news, our school only has about 300 children enrolled, we live in a very small community, this happened 35 miles north of us in a major city where he lived. The children at this school have been harassed by other kids because of this ordeal. The only reason I posted this was because Kasey has already been found guilty be a lot of people on here as well. We do not know the whole story. There is another forum that I visit that Mr. Archie has been the topic. In that topic they have posted some articles relating to his past which are not very flattering to his ability to follow job guidelines.
Posted by: Graceann | Dec 21, 2007 9:38:40 PM
GA,I think he needs help!Dressed up like a woman is freaky,but not a crime.Can't say I'd want him to be my kid's or anyone's kid's principal.However,just because he does that kind of crap doesn't make him a bad educator.But definately a bad example after the cat gets out of the bag.So,I could see why parents or whoever wanted him to resign.His rep was ruined not by the police or the school board or the lovely O'Rielly but by his decision to dress like a woman and drive around in public in a bad area of town and get stopped by the man.Are you tying this in with how KK rep might be tarnished with his deal?Either way that is a prime example of how screwed up things are in the world.I still think KK and his lawyer have something as far as good defense.Otherwise they would have come forward and apologized and set the record straight it seems by now to get this over with.Thoughts?
J2,Merry Christmas!
Posted by: DJ | Dec 21, 2007 7:56:23 PM
Let me ask you guys a question. My son goes to a Catholic High School. The day before Halloween his principal was pulled over and given a ticket for prostitution. He was dressed as a woman and considered to be in a bad part of town known for drugs and prostitutes. He was forced to resign from the school. The media sat outside of the building just to tape our children getting on the bus.This little bit of news was posted all over the news it even made the Bill O'Reilly show, his reputation was ruined. It went to court today, the police dropped all charges, there was not enough evidence to charge him with anything. All they had was him in his car dressed as a female on the wrong side of town at 9:20p.m., to which was later discovered he owned rental property in the area. I think the police officers jumped to the wrong conclusion in this situation. What do you guys think?

I do take offense to frivilous bullshit lawsuits.
I cant take credit for this originally from Ms G, k2 being a dog lover you will love number 4
but your comment above and this old email kinda go hand in hand!!
The Stella Awards
It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"! For those unfamiliar
with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who
spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New
Mexico where she purchased the coffee. You remember, she took the lid
off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who
would ever think one could get burned doing that, right?
That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and
verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch
your head... so keep your head scratcher handy.
Here are the Stella's for the past year:
Seventh place:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of
her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was
running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably
surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.
Sixth place:
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical
expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman
apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car
when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hub caps.
Go ahead, grab your head scratcher.
Fifth place:
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had
just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the
automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the
garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the
door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it
shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of Pepsi
and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance
company claiming undue mental anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the
insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all
have this kind of anguish.Keep scratching. There are more...
Fourth place:
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th place in the
Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being
bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle-- even though the
beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get
as much as he had asked for because the jury believed the beagle might
have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had
climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a
pellet gun!Grrrrr ... Scratch, scratch.
Third place:
Third place goes to Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a
jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113, 500 after she
slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the
soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend
30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to people
being responsible for their own actions?Scratch, scratch, scratch. Hang
in there; there are only two more Stellas to go...
Second place:
Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a
nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor,
knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to
sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover
charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah,
plus dental expenses. Go figure.
First place: (May I have a fanfare played on 50 kazoos please?)
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv
Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago
motor home. On her first trip home from an OU football game, having
driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly
left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make
herself a sandwich.Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway,
crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued
Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually
leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury
awarded her--are you sitting down?--$1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home.
Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit,
just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might be tempted to
also buy a motor home.Are we, as a society, getting more stupid...????
Or for Florida residents, do you think these people would pass the
FCAT?

Posted by: earnhardt nation | Dec 21, 2007 5:18:38 PM
But go back and read the article. This guard guy says he was shoved down, Kale Kahne says Kasey raised his own arms to get in the motorhome lot, and it knocked the guy off balance. I realize Kale is not the "unbiased third party" but that sounds a lot more like the Kasey Kahne I've seen at the track, on television, and talked about with other fans.
Besides, how could he not recognize the driver? And no offense to one of the lesser-known drivers, but take Johnny Sauter. I wouldn't know the man if he punched me square in the face, but I recognize Kasey Kahne. Most race fans do.
I personally have seen and been treated to some extreme displays of "power" by security personnel at tracks, concert venues, festivals, etc. I'm much more apt to put together the pieces of this story and figure out this guy is out to make a buck.
Could he have asked for any money he had to put out for an exam? Sure. If he'd had a legitimate injury and asked for compensation for that... okay fine, I get that. But fifteen grand for some minor abrasions and bruises? Here, let me get Kasey to knock me off balance, and see if I can get some pain and suffering out of it.
And really, why try to do this to Kasey Kahne? It's been pointed out, he is a tiny guy, and not exactly intimidating. I mean he doesn't even look like a workout fiend like Mark Martin does these days. My 11 year old stepdaughter could probably put up a decent fight - they're close enough to the same size.
Bless his heart, I hope this security guard doesn't get a dime. And the lawyer he's got needs a cranio-rectomy.

I'm fairly new to this blog and I want you all to know how much I enjoy reading your comments. It is helping me get through the winter and gives me my NASCAR fix.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!!

well he's got him a playmate that's as far up HMS' a$$ as he is I see.
I hope all of you- including those who have blessed me out and received it from me- have a very safe and happy holiday season. Peace.

J2,
First and foremost I dont look down in disdain at anyone in or out of NASACAR.. I do take offense to frivilous bullshit lawsuits.
Archie might have been a "working man", but the poor guy now suffers from "LOSS OF LIVE ENLOYMENT", thats a good one as he looked fine at the press conf...
Another issue I have is why he had to grab Kasey, but naturally you are incapable of even addressing that, whle your in the pulpit..
I swear sometimes you should go play for Atlanta Falcons, you'd fit right in.
Gretchen, "J2 could care less about the working man", hes taking a shot at current NASCAR employees. But fails to see that I will call a spade a spade..
DJ and Dottie, have a great Xmas and be safe...
J2, go to the local mall , grab santa and see his reaction to you
F5, J2 thinks we all live on "the lake". LMFAO

Well gosh. When did your upscale self start giving a poop about common working class folk?

Well, we all had to have known when we first heard this that it was going to happen. I mean, that's the society in which we live. We have wrecks and sue the pi$$ out of whoever's at fault. Over and above what their insurance company pays. We play the lottery, so as to get rich w/o effort. We sue McDonald's because we spilled our coffee in our lap. We sue stores because we busted our a$$ in their parking lot in a rain storm. We sue Doctor's because chemo didn't save our relatives. We sue Law Enforcement agencies because we ran from them when threy said stop and we got our tails tasered. We as a society in general SUE anyone for anything. 62 year old man gets touched- which as I stated earlier constituted battery in this great state I live in- by a very famous and well known race car driver. Did we all truly ever think this wasn't going to end up in court?
KK needs to try not to get himself in situations like this. Archie Fudd- LOVE that one K2- NEEDS to get his hospital bills paid and move on with his life-----but that ain't gonna happen.

DJ,
It's a typical "I'm richer than you, I'm more important" thus I won't acknowledge you, you lowly private security guard which apparently is how many in NASCAR view them in light of the comments by K2 and Radster who referred to them as "rent-a-cops" as well as "gold diggers." Looks like some in the NASCAR employ (current and former) look down with disdain on the common man, the working class man. I'm shocked.
In this incident Kasey needs caution and should take seriously the "Ignore at your own peril" thing.
And oh by the way, DJ, don't say it unless you mean it.

K2,If I Had to side with someone in this case,it would be KK.The whole deal reeks of alot of wrong-doing though with both parties.J2,you don't know me at all.If able,my retribution would be with a left hook and body slam.But that might just be me.Then I would call it self defense and get a lawyer and we would go from there.But that is if I was able.Now,if Mr. H indeed has such injuries he will get his and KK will have to pay for his "crime".And I use that term loosely.
Just seems KK and his people would have already issued an apology and try to reach a settlement and get this done.There has got to be more to it than this IMO or this would have already happened.What do ya'll think?Kat?Maybe KK has got a good case or defense for this case.Oh well,we'll know all the facts in time.If Mr. H does indeed have those injuries then he'll get his and hopefully not be damaged for too long.
Let's go finish shopping boys and girls.Maybe I'll get hit by an run-away shopping cart when I go to the Mall,Get diagnosed with DFO(That's Done Fell Out)and sue everyone!K2,good luck with the knees and PT.Happy Merry to all(even J2)and ya'll be careful out there.

I can't comment on the Monroe County
Deputies not being a good thing since I
don't live there but I think, there are
two sides to every story. Don't get me
wrong, I'm not degrading Kasey nor the
Security Guard, I'm just trying to be
fair. None of us know if the man was
injured or not, everyone's just stating
their opinions but the truth will come
out, sooner or later. My mom and dad
always taught us to respect older people
and I would hope Kasey would do the same.
Hope you continue to recover from your
surgery on your knees.
Going out of state on business for two
months so I would like to wish you a
"Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year".

Johanna, no I agree with your post. Disagree with those whom are killing Kasey...
Jeff,you too might run into on another up Ricks ass if he farts....
Talk about a momas boy, please refer to JJ(Puff bandit)

We need to work the HMS twist into this story. Someone at Hendrick stole Kasey's card and Chad used it to make a under car air diverter. That is how JJ won all those races. I must be BORED. Can't wait for Daytona.

Best thing Kasey can do is pay up and shut up. Maybe he can get his mommy to pin his card on his shirt so he won't have this problem again. "My name is Kasey, I drive fast".

No offense taken, but most officers do flock together. Do a little google search on Mr. Archie. Sure hope he is not the same fellow. If he is his lawyer did not do his homework.
Posted by: Graceann | Dec 21, 2007 12:00:46 AM
Hopefully we will bump into each other sometime when we both have our head up HMS azz.
