Subject: RC: BET - resolution
-TI/Bill/Cliff Part I
from Thorndike /Barnhart ARBITRATOR= 1.
person chosen to decide a dispute.
2. Person with full power to
judge and decide. --Syn. 1. judge, umpire.
Remember, Tom and Cliff
accepted me as the arbitrator.
Remember that when Cliff took the
bet he clarified the terms, that the proof
would consist of 6 witnesses
from at least two different rides. Cliff
originally set June 5 as the
deadline. It was then extended to last Friday,
when Tom finally wired
his money accepting the terms. The witnesses were to
come forward
over the weekend. At the end of the weekend, I had not been
contacted
other than a 7 AM Friday call from Bill asking me to not become
involved.
After the weekend, Tom said that if the witnesses did not come
forward by
Monday at midnight, he would concede the bet. Tuesday morning
Bill
asked for one more day. All of this time, I made sure my phone
was working,
had someone available to answer (mostly myself), and do have a
working
answering machine. Still no witnesses came forward.
Bill did not return my
call Friday asking for the name of the Limited
Distance Champion who started
the other club.
By the strictest terms
of the bet, Cliff wins, Tom loses. The money is being
forwarded to
Cliff.
