Thanks Bill...for the info on Ted's engine collection.
Yes, not only on that web site but also on many other sites also contain information about his collections
Anyone who still wants info...check with homer_smith@msn.com or
http://geocities.com/the_great_sam8/enticknap.htmhere is an attached drawing for another retiring professional model maker that I too had the pleasure of working with... (How sobering....I think all of these great modelmasters shown on this drawing have passed this life except for the two other ICONs Mr. Schwartzwelder and Mr. Glendale that are standing next to Ted. (Art Pasa-Rosy-(Rozinits)and Rich Moran on the right side have all recently passed this life.
Ted in his favorite old GREEN WORK SWEATER is shown on the far left side of my drawing..
Ted and Schwartzeee' were always talkin model engine talk.
Ted was a master at concocking funny jokes on his fellow model makers. Although some were real doozeeee's....it truly was some kind of badge of honor to be the BUTT-END of one of his masterpieces...
He truly was the KING OF DIRTY TRICKS-N-TREATS!!!
Remember times like these...when we lose so many of our dear friends...it put into perspective just what is important in life.
Check out the quip on the bottom of this James Dean photo for some real eye-opening truth.
The last photo shows how much our Carl and Shultzie have "gone to seed!" (after a few Bud Light beers of course taken at a recent memorial for another fallen model maker Gil Coughlin who also was an avid model engine collector and gifted model flyer.
