OK, Rick, even *I* felt that you were getting dangerously close to bashing here... being sarcastic is great, but watch it there, kid ;)

And it's not true, what you just said. I distinctly remember that Johnny did mention his dad a few times - I don't remember exactly where it was, but he did. He did, for example, say in an interview how excited he was that his father and brother came to see him and support him in Torino; so, yeah, obviously it's Patti that usually goes to the competitions and events, but his dad isn't "the invisible man" or anything. Hey, I even remember I saw a picture of him somewhere - in a family photo of the Weirs. So fear not, there is a dad out there ;)

Hila.
