| Ron, Since you mentioned it. It's the first picture in my pictures. I didn't include it because I hadn't asked you. Small world it is. |

| Yep thats the one ! I am a few pounds heavier these days :)Forgot I had already sent it to you. Just joined this forum and need to figure out how to down load photos. I never stopped building model airplanes. I love it and really enjoy this web sight. Seeing other peoples work and techniques makes me even more enthusiastic. Was a very special treat finding you and your B17 on here. |

| The B-17 started me again after about 45 years. Hadn't built one since high school. Emigrated from Littlefork 4 years ago. Miss the neighbors, but definitely not the winters or mosquitoes. Looking forward to seeing your work. I've learned a lot from the folks here. |

| Well, I must say, you have not lost the touch over 45 years. I gave up on it because it became too much for me to tackle at that time in my life. Once I left the nest I never went back to it but my folks packed it up and took it with them when they moved. The plans were acquired from an ad in Flying Models magazine way back when.
Where do you live now ? I live near Olympia Washington.

| Thanks. That little Strombecker B-17 was the last one. Finished it over Christmas vacation 1960. Planes are mostly a winter thing now. Horses are more fun in the summer. Took a little time off this summer to rebuild some of my grandparents furniture. Pretty soon time to start on the C-46. We live about 25 miles south of Kalispell, MT. Still pretty much in the woods. Does your email still have to do with the 8A? |
