Time Passages....

Toledo 1995...Rick Hanmore, me and Tim Boyd. We all were writing for Scale Auto!

 

Fast Forward to 2019.

Thanks for taking the lead on the NNL. While you're far from nameless, your efforts helped re-energize the hobby.

That might apply to Tim. I can’t take any credit for that as I was not involved at all!

I suppose everyone there took the last train home tonight.....?

I made it to one Toledo show. I think it was in 1998, maybe? Wish I cudda attended more of them. I did get to attend and work at the Birmingham NNL shows for a few years. Had a great time doing so.

Thanks to all three of you for where you have taken me in my model building.  I just lost a modeling buddy this past weekend and was kinda shocked at how much I miss him already.  You guys are kinda iconic, ya know?   For me anyway.  

Good to see you all still in the hobby.

Randy,

First, I’m very sorry for your loss. Secondly, thank you.

Thanks - I think my guy (Todd) bought a couple things from your auction recently as well.   He was a good fella and we always had fun talking models and "replicas" - he hated when I called them toy cars.  But most people understand "toy cars" much better than "scale auto replicas".  Todd also made me pay more attention to my builds - he liked Mint cars, so I wanted to build plastics that at least looked like they belonged with his mint cars.  

And to everyone, pay attention to your friends.  And your mentors.  These three are among the guys I consider mentors.  They know model stuff that most of us would never have been privvy to had they not been willing to share.  

Ok, I'm through being an old softie.  Go build something and stay offa my lawn!

Randy, we had a tough year, losing friends. They either just retired or had 6 months to go. I live my life like each day is my last. I want every second to count. Friends mean everything !
