Was getting ready to recycle more paper, books, magazines and newsletters and I picked up a little SIG booklet. It has a short history of how Glen Sigafoose got started. Also how they got into full sizr planes. Pictures and notes about various others also. D>K

Hey Doc!! Don't throw that into the recycle bin!! I wouldn't mind having an extra copy of that. let me know what you want for it and I'll send you my address!!
I got a message the other day that Hazel had to move out of her house and into an assisted living facility, and the house and contents were being put up for auction. I don't know if that included SIG Field or not but don't think so. I think hazel will be 103 or 104 years old in February of March!
Type at you later,

Sorry Dan, I am going to hang on to this as well as the award she gave me at the last SIG contest I was lucky enough to attend. D>K

Lucky for me, I got motivated to go to Sig for one of their contests.
Mrs. Sig had the modelers tour her entire complex - except the sawing building, which was classified Top Secret.
I liked the 150-year-old printing presses used as die-cutting presses. They could rip through a stack of blanks at 30 hits per minute, which beats the hell out of laser-cutter or plastic printer.
Also the wire-bending tools that shaped landing gears powered by a hydraulic cylinder.
Hazel said that the key element in balsa-buying is to permanently employ a trusted dedicated balsa buyer in Equador. Otherwise, you just get the crap that Sig won't buy.
