Having met Joey several times,the last time on the Island in 2000 it's hard to imagine him not being there this year.I have never met a more modest man in my love given what he had achieved.I shall treasure the photos that hehad signed for me just two weeks before his loss and they will be passed onto my grandson when it is my turn. I,d brought a ticket for 2001 and when it was cancelled I patiently waited for this year.That is until of the loss of Joey once that had happened my strong desire to return disappeared and I ended up selling it to a friend that had never been. What a treat he has in store.I do,nt doubt that some time in the future I will return to the TT but it is never going to be the same without Joey.The good news is that Robert is back for this year and I wish him well.What I do intend to do is hopefully next year is to put the "Troubles" out of my mind and to attend the NW200.Then hopefully I can call into Joeys bar and give my condolences to Linda &Family personally.Please pass on my good luck to Robert for this year.
Regards

Ted Edwards
