In Douggs’ recent article, “Dealing with Death in the Sport of Life,” I made a pretty awful typo and misidentified Roland “Slim” Simpson as Robert Pecnik (and yes I even misspelled “Pecnik” just to add insult to injury).
Here is the caption Douggs submitted to go with this photo:
“Coombesy, Robert Pecnic, Douggs. Both Slim & Coombesy were my heros and friends. Slim woudl die the next morning in China”
And here is the photo and caption we actually printed:
“Coombesy, Robert ‘Slim’ Pecnic, me. Both Slim and Coombesy were my heroes and friends. Slim would die the next morning in China.”
Robert, I am terribly sorry for this mistake! And to the rest of the world: Robert Pecnik of Phoenix Fly is alive, well, and doing awesome shit:
