4 April Meeting post:
It looks as if we had more members at this meeting than we did at last weekends annual contest. As usual, the meeting following a contest was consumed by details, dollar amounts, corrections, anecdotes and a general "atta-boys" all around for a successful job done.
Aimee Lotz related her story of the "Al Incident". We hope to find a way to advise the American Legion National office about the oafish behavior of the membership of Post 396 and lodge a proper, official complaint against the "Village Idiots of Bondurant". Seeking the commander of Iowa District 6 is key.
The good news is that we will not be returning to the "cozy" Legion Hall. The next show may be in Nevada or perhaps even in Dayton, Iowa.
Ronnie Schultz brought quite a collection of modified shiny models. The '58 El Camino was an attention getter. The Nomad was neet too!
Ray finished his 1/48 Vought Corsair f4U-4 in the markings of Guy Bordelon. A Korean war Navy ace.
Carton Burger's 1/48 Monogram He-111 is looking quite airborne. Colton Routh is working on a M-36 and a Sherman, both in 1/35th scale.
Mike Rasmussen is building a vintage Monogram B-26 Invader kit. The 2nd airplane model I ever built many moons ago.
Francisco progresses on his 1/72 US Coast Guard Island class WPB. It looks very much like a 110-foot cutter, don't you agree?
Stalwart, long-time Plastic Surgeons treasurer George Stevens announces his resignation and his plan for he and Lady Stevens to "Return Home" to Colorado next August. George has done a fine job in his treasuring and as a club member and contest enthusiast. He is also the man that filled in as a father figure for me after my own Dad died. He was REALLY good at that too.
He will be missed.
I might not have taken this bit of news very well. That's all I have to say about that.
