Sorry to hear about your misfortune, but having been at the Toledo show I can under stand why he is taking a bit of time to unwind, Great show and some good deals but not as many venders as in past years but a lot depended on what you were looking for.
Well I have to say after dealing with Joe via Phone and E- mails with all good success and then getting to meet him by an engine, talk a bit, he is one of the best venders I have ever dealt with and I and my buddies have been going to the show foe 30 + years
Now I have to get my but in gear and get my new bird finished for the new engine.
Cheers Bob T
