Duane,
You are so fortunate that you were able to see Tom's models in person, surely a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would love to have my Perigee photographed with Tom's TBX and Apogee, that would be a real kick!

Yes I have been fortunate, but I've also been persistant enough to "push on the door" just a bit to see if it would open. My first attempt to meet Helen fell through, but finally in the end I was able to deliver Chuck's video to her personally, and she proved to be a gracious hostess, and Tom's #1 fan.
I have talked to you enough about this that I really feel it would be a significant event in your life, (as it was for me), to make the trip...sometimes you just have to make it a priority to make it happen while the opportunity is there. Why don't we both plan to make a
joint spring trip...it has been well over a year since I've been to see Helen, (when she shared the scrapbook with my wife and I), and I'd love to meet you for the first time, and visit her, and Tom's planes again.
Contact me if you'd be interested.
Duane
