Eye opening to say the least. I was not talking about the Dawn on the Amazon at all, I have been there and seems like a descent place. I think we know whom the bad guys are and they are not the ministers as well as missionaries ( I hope). My views are based on knowing Gerald, his family, his friends, and the good things that I have seen him do. The views of others I can only assume are based on bad experiences and my views are contrasting, very contrasting ,based on my observations. I did not see the noose or the other things you bring out that are hanging in the bar I guess because there are so many things all over the place although I do not condone anything negative. Thanks for saying nice things about Yuriko they are well deserved and it is honorable that even if someone does not like a family member they choose to be fair. Jim Good Evening,

That is a question, not a statement, and it is nice that someone is trying to balance the scale. I don't doubt that you are an intelligent man, but you are ignorant of many of the points of your comment. For instance this article was published in early 2007, I did not "compete against him in business" until I opened the Dawn on the Amazon Cafe in 2010, and only one of the other commentators "compete against him in business." Also, I wonder if you clicked the link back to <a href="http://dawnontheamazon.com/blog/2007/01/05/the-dawn-on-the-amazon-christmas-program-2006/" rel="nofollow">The Dawn on the Amazon Christmas Program 2006</a> and read the comments there. That article became unwieldy with 74 comments, some of them lengthy, that I condensed in the new article. I suspect you did not follow the instructions at the top of the page to click that link for the full comments where the vast majority used their real names, except ironically Jack Lumber who supported Gerrald. If you do click that article you will find a Major Jose Gonzales, U. S Marines, left a comment. I doubt you could honestly call him spineless. Several missionaries left comments, chances are you offended them by suggesting they were thieves, pedophiles and perverts. As I scroll down through the comments I recognize only one person that could be considered a "competitor" and I see many successful businessmen, a couple of millionaires, an author, and a school teacher that I know of. I only see two commentators that I know of that could possibly be considered "thieves, pedophiles, or perverts." No one ever said any thing negative about his daughter Yurico, who I know and like, or his son Max who is a personal friend of mine. I'm sure you should talk to them, and many other people about my character before slandering me. As for me, why not stop by the Dawn on the Amazon Cafe some time and visit with me before declaring me pathetic and worse.

You imply that you are a friend of Mayeaux’s and obviously a regular customer. Well if that is true I would like you to give us your personal opinion of the racist memorabilia in that place. The scorched cross. The hangman’s noose. The confederate flag. The Willie Nelson poster, AND The photograph of President Obama and his wife Michelle with Mayeaux’s hand written words below. “ NOW WE HAVE AN APE FOR A FIRST LADY” Got lots more for you, but answer this and we’ll get this blog back to full health in no time Good one Jimbo, everyone thought this blog was dead and buried but you brought it back to life, great work.

I know Gerald very well and have spent a lot of time with him. Reading this blog I realized that many persons have (without signatures) stated many false things about Gerald. I know his daughter and she was raised with my girlfriend. They are fine descent people as is Gerald. He does not like thieves, pedophiles, perverts and most likely the people that write comments that are promoted by the persons that compete against him in business and do not have a spine. I can only wonder which category the persons that write these things ( spineless, thieves, pedophiles, or perverts) take your choices. Jim P.S. Now look who we have as our U.S. Embassy Representatives in Iquitos, cannot get anymore pathetic. I have lived in Peru over a decade. I know Gerald very well and have spent a lot of time with him.
