March SABA Meeting

[Fletch]

Not a great deal of models at the March SABA Meeting. I think we're all decompressing from the Bob Paeth Portland Classic and the Portland Roadster Show last weekend.

Hosted on Fotki

You have some talented builders there. They all look very interesting.

MANY years ago, I went to a SABA model car event at the PIR, in conjunction with a car show.

I was out in Oregon on business and I had a Saturday to kill.

The SABA guy at the show asked me where I was from. I told him "Maryland" and he asked me if that was near this town or that town,,,,,,,,

I kept telling him IT'S A STATE - ON THE EAST COAST.

He eventually said "okay", but I don't think he got it!

Lyle, that's to funny. The worst part is I think I know which one of our members it was. He's a drafting engineer for a company that does the initial work ups for the Bonneville Power Administration. He's a great guy but there are days you wonder which planet he's on.

It's not quite as bad as one of my wife's co-workers boyfriend. She was telling him about Dracula and that he lived in Transylvania. He straight faced asked her if that was someplace in Pennsylvania. Another college educated mind. Then there was the time she had the novel Moby Dick laying on her coffee table. He ask her is he had written any other books. Not if Melville had written any other books but if Moby Dick had written any other books.

Last week I couldn't even spell graduate now I are one!
