Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Wes Fager
« on: February 12, 2009, 09:22:10 PM »
In recent years the truth about Straight, Miller Newton, the Semblers, Kids and their progeny have become public. While all of the villains have not been punished and the victims still deal with the aftermath the con that was Straight has ben exposed and the single person most responsible for making the truth known was Wes Fager. Those of us who wanted to know the truth always knew that Wes was the primary source and his courage and dedication were an inspiration. Sometimes irrepressible but always honest and always extraordinarily decent he looked evil in the eye over and over again and he called it what it was.
Wes died yesterday. He was an inspiration to me. He should have lived a longer life then each of the bastards he exposed. He didn't but the years he lived were well lived and he managed to take the harm that was done to him and his family and make it into something positive that was of value to the rest of us. The world has been diminished by his passing. He was a good man. He was a hero.
