SfanGoch Posted September 3 Posted September 3 I noticed that Fred Sterns hadn't updated his webpage since March. I emailed him on Monday to ask if he was all right. I received a reply from his wife, Dena, who informed me that Fred is suffering some health problems and is presently in long term care. She is selling the inventory and closing the business.
mikemodeler Posted September 3 Posted September 3 That's sad to hear, he had some great prices on kits and was reasonable on the shipping. I guess as we age in this hobby things we took for granted are slowly disappearing.
Old Buckaroo Posted September 3 Posted September 3 Dang, I always liked dealing with him. Started buying from him back in the 1990's from adds in SAE magazine. I felt like I had made it "big time" when he told me a personal check was fine as payment. Sadly our youth and health doesn't last forever.
Rob Hall Posted September 3 Posted September 3 Sad to hear..I bought maybe 1/2 dozen kits from him about 25 years ago.
peteski Posted September 3 Posted September 3 That's too bad. While I have not dealt with him personally, it seems that I've been seeing his classified ads in model magazines forever. Only honest, good, and friendly businessman can last this long. That just reminds me that none of us are getting any younger or healthier.
Tom99 Posted September 4 Posted September 4 That is sad to hear. I have bought many models from Fred, he will be missed.
