Bob Emmett...
My beloved brotha'-in-balsa perhaps without question....was one of our most prolific and passioned modelers here in the NW. He helped me with not only my passion for building and flying but more importantly was around to help me as a close confidont' and he and his beautiful family...."took me in n' gave me breakfast...lunch and dinna' many many times during the lean years before I finally found my beautiful wife Carol.
Also from his encouragement he helped me during those years when I changed occupations and started a new career as wind tunnel model maker here in Seattle.
Along with Bob....I owe equal tribute and a debt of gratitude to so many other friends and modelers who also were Boeing family such as Gary Letsinger, Bob Parker, Joe Dill, Howard Rush, Paul Walker, Lynn Howard Dooty, James Parsons......(just to name the tip of the Boeing Iceburg)
BOB EMMETT....back to his beautiful Miss Chevy!!!
This model will forever be etched in my memory bank as one of the most beautiful in the air models that I have ever seen.
That bold white image as it cut holes in that beautiful rare blue skys...that graceful eliptal multi ribbed rounded wing with considerable dihedral, with those stately appointed wheel pants.....all made for one beautiful flying stunt model.
Here's to the memories of those moments in time......
