While working in the tower for DRC, I got to know almost all of the photogs on the circuit. Norman is a great guy and one of the most respected by his peers.

A bit of truth here. Not a single photog or journalist I knew got rich - most were barely squeaking by. Because it wasn't about the money, they were there for the love of the sport and for the competitors they came to be friends with.

When you're out there on your own, or getting a pittance of money from a magazine every now and then it's tough to build up much of a Social Security fund or even save any money towards retirement. So attacking the guy who did it for all the right reasons is the lowest blow I can imagine.
Thanks Dan - I too saw how hard he worked for peanuts - we became friends and still are today .You are right - with him it was never / ever about the money .
