| 183721 | 8877 | Rich Toby Pavel | 23 | Big D | Sep 7, 2020 | 2020-09-06T23:20:33-0400 | I've had several conversations with Rich through the years. They've always have been very positive and he can be very charismatic. Only problem is that his reputation is not unwarranted (speaking from personal experience, along with working for a shop that dealt with him years ago.) It's the Rich charm. On a side note, while standing in line at Pipe's Cafe years ago I was having a conversation with an "industry" person where he was pontificating as to why people should just "understand" that Mr. Pavel is eccentric and an apparent shaping giant, so he's afforded the opportunity to be aloof. The icing on the cake was that he revealed to me that Rich was also a MENSA member. I remember saying something to the effect that for a genius he sure acts like a dumb ass. The person standing behind us spit water all over our backs and starting laughing as he was listening to the conversation the whole time. He revealed he currently had a deposit down on a board for the last 10 months and couldn't get a hold of him. To this day I'd be willing to bet that he's still waiting for that board. |
