Default Jim Weir's OSH Chairs

If you're looking for an empty chair at OSH, here's one:
http://www.geocities.com/viewptmd/FlightLine.jpg Of course as soon as I
finished taking the picture I sat down in it again. Dave's high power chair
shown, (which had a setting called "Ludicrous Speed" that would actually
allow wheelies!) is now available, but I doubt that it would fit in Atlas.
We had to haul it out on a trailer (no, I didn't drag it on the back of the
Archer; we drove).

As some of you know, Jim Weir missed OSH this year, for the first time
in 30+ years.

He did, however, ceremoniously ship his beloved OSH airshow chairs to
Montblack, for use at the rec.aviation gathering.

Here's a photo of me putting Jim's chair to maximum use during the
show:

Jim, we did put your chair in the middle of the circle, at the party,
and I personally drank several toasts to you and Gail...I think. ;-)

However, even though I THOUGHT I took pictures of that little ceremony,
I don't seem to have one on my camera. Montblack? Eric? Jim? John?
Did anyone take a picture of Jim's empty chair in the circle?
