OFF: Good news for Lemmy

[Doug Pearson]

>From the April 26, 2003 item in the "latest news" section at

"I would like to thank from the bottom of my black heart two people who
brought the hat I had stolen a year ago. They brought it from Portland to
Seattle to give it back to me. I will not publish their names here in case
of reprisals from the assholes who stole it. But they and I both know who
they are. Thanks to you both.

--Lemmy"

I guess he can come out of mourning now?
