This latest thread started with HM posting this picture and writing, "Somewhere Bucky is smiling." - Picture by Howard Monath
Who’s Bucky?
Via facebook.
Bucky Badger…Nattawut Salkua, the Red Shirt leader is wearing a University of Wisconsin T-Shirt; very appropriate. ( My alma mater, Latin for bounteous mother )
Tony Smull, a fb friend:
howard, are you a confirmed red shirt or quoi?
HN:
I am a bounteous mother
And ..
But come on, when you see one of the leaders of the Red Shirts wearing a Wisconsin red shirt, that kind of seals the deal, don’t you think? I mean my NY cynicism/ voyeurism, will always make me objective in a way, but I certainly have a soft spot for the Red Shirts…the underdogs with a billionaire leader ( there’s that cynicism again )
