For your "Editor's Page" in FSM Dec. 03. That was very nice to mentioned but even more so for Richard Mitchell. He enjoyed reading it very much! In fact, it is now framed and hanging on his wall. To be honest, I thought I was beginning to ramble during my speach at Mastercon and did not want to lose everyone's attention. I agree with everything you said! If I had never met Richard and the rest of the guys here in that club, I doubt I would be the modeler I am, the contest "go-er" I am and most certainly, not the person I am. It is I who benefited the most from his friendship. I just wanted to let everyone know what Richard is to me. Thank you again!
