Thank you for the compliments guys. I’ve tried to accurately share things a person might find interesting or possibly helpful. And I’ll admit to a hidden agenda - establishing this stuff online so that in the future a descendent or two may enjoy discovering this segment of our family history, when I may not be available to provide details.

It’s interesting looking back, model cars in my youth were directly responsible for teaching me patience. Multiple failures quickly taught me to slow down and take my time. Being basically bull headed in the first place combined with four years in the Marines taught me determination. The consequences of not fulfilling a task were always bad, inspiring a zealous enthusiasm for seeing things through that has never diminished.

I really do appreciate the feedback. Thanks again.
