18. The Internet will never be the same.

Fri Mar 7, 2014, 08:47 PM

Mar 2014

My life is infinitely better for having the fortune to have crossed paths with Terry Coppage.

Whether from making me laugh or from making me angry, he was a real journalist and always called 'em as he saw 'em. Through the Truth, Mr. Coppage made my life better.

Thank you, Bartcop!

¡Hasta Siempre, Hermano!
