Frantastic!

Post by PeterF »

Tim and I visited Fran today too, and saw his cool and excellently displayed collection. Half the fun of this hobby is when one is lucky enough to get around to other collectors’ houses and have them show you their stuff.

Thanks Fran.

I've spent many pleasant hours in that particular room, but we've never hung from the ceiling like that. Next time...

You should've come along, George! All 4 of us in the same place at the same time would've corrected any disturbances in the force. Or farce. I forget...

Peter, it was wonderful you finally made it to my humble abode. That really made my day! And having Tim here again was an honor.

I hope we can do it again next year! Have a safe trip back home, and keep on truckin' buddy.

Cheers,
Fran
