Thanks to Mrs. Estelle Sawyer, I received all of the late Bill Sawyer's canopy business this past Saturday. Plenty of plastic stock, vacuforming machine, molds, shipping boxes, etc., and will be getting things together soon, hopefully. I will have to get the temps and such down before I will be able to supply new canopies.

I am undergoing a few problems since my hospital release so things are a bit slow, but I will give more news as it is available. no "name" for the business as of yet...........

Thanks
Bill

why not call it "Little Canopies" makes sense seeing as they are small

Hi Wynn,

That was my first thought.

Please email me with the fishing supplies wants again. Things got real messed up here.

How about Big Bear's Canopies?

At first I liked "Big Bear's Canopies", but there was a combat business with "Bear". Maybe "Little Canopies" is better. Maybe someone will call and ask for a quote to put a canopy over their RV! Ha!

Good Luck Bill!

Bill's Can O' Peas?

When I was doing contract machining, my biz was "Performance Marine Systems", or "PMS" for short. Hard to forget, huh?

" Malcomb Hoods " were the full size ones fitted to P-51 Bs and P-47 Razorbacks , the ' Clear View ' ones .

So if you got the thing going nicely , you could call them ' Clear View hoods ' or something equally confusing .

Me?? From the hospital?? That what you mean? If so, yeah they did let me go. The "hospitalist" who was on duty when I did get discharged was not real happy to do it, but......... Left about 1 1/2 pints low.

"Canopies 'R' I"?

I'm glad you got Bill Sawyer's canopy supplies, I'm sure he'd have wanted that I don't know about his leather fillet stuff, however.

Bill had some kits and a lot of balsa, so I hope they can be sold to benefit Bill's widow.

Get well, Little Bill. I mean it.

Best,

L.
