Yes, he has moved on to other things....like an Edison/Bergmann tinfoil, Bell & Tainters, unique Class M's, etc. If (the long-ago-banned) BostonMike only knew what Aaron's collection and respect in the community would grow to be!
Oh...and his parents did NOT fund the fantastic pieces in his collection. Aaron works very hard and is extremely smart. If this "BostonMike" had only been brilliant enough to get to where Aaron is now, perhaps he would have been smart enough not to bully a kid (it was far more than just this old thread) who possessed a strong interest and drive to get into the hobby. It is a good thing that at 15 years of age, Aaron was smarter than "BostonMike" and did not let the foolishness scare him off. Aaron is now a highly accomplished collector and an active APS board member, helping to make the hobby better for all in the community.

Damn, was about to ask if he wanted a couple large brass horns that needed love and care.

I feel like we all just got taste of old legend and lore of the days of old on the ol' Talking Machine Forum
