[NSRCA-discussion] Old Farts club

Dave:
Did your wife work in Howards's shop on Jefferson Blvd. in L.A.?  Did she work there before/after/during the time that Edie Downs (Ray Downs wife) worked there?  You may remember that Ray and Edie bought Colonel Bob's Hobby Shop on Pico Blvd.across from Sears, about 1968.  It was a real treat to see Edie cover a Smog Hog or Astro Hog wing with one piece of nylon.  The craftsmanship was  immaculate.  I always wished I could get my wife to do my covering jobs; instead they looked as if they had been done by one of my kids.

  HAH.....I still have 2 of them. Amazingly, they worked pretty well back then once you discovered how to keep the servos from crapping out.....but then, my wife worked at Bonner Specialties so I may have had a slight advantage in that regard.

    I still have several of the sixties vintage rudder/Throttle only airplanes along with many trophies earned with them including a first place trophy from the 1966 Dallas contest.
    I also qualify in the mid Old Fart class at 72
