Glad to hear Don is still around.  I saw Ernie at York last fall.  But he usually posts somewhere every now and then and then when I went to go to his page it was MIA.

Marty;

Ernie is still posting on OGR, but not as often.  Haven't seen anything from Don in a while.

Chief;
I think Daylight Don has posted since you have been here. I remember seeing an interesting
photo that he put up about a forklift accident and I recognzed it as a location where I used to
work at before retiring. ( It was on a Navy Base) . Anyhoo...we corresponded briefly via
PMs and then he seemed to vanish. He had some vey good stuff when he posted.  Hope  he
returns soon.

Duda likes to mow the neighbor ladies' grass. Shock [:O]Wink [;)]  As Bob says, he and his son race radio controled airplanes during this time of the year.  That guy can come up with some of the best laughs to post. Big Smile [:D]  Marty, the guys you mentioned have not posted since I came to the forum [as I recall].

Bob,

Thanks for the update.  I always enjoyed Jim's posts.  I understand that radio-controlled airplane habit.  Last weekend the local Miniature Aircraft Squadron had an Air Show.  I went for a little while both days.  Sunday there was this young hotshot showing off his skills, I was impressed.  I think one hobby is enough for meBig Smile [:D], at least for my budget.

Take care,

Mitch

What ever happened to Jim Duda?  I haven't seen him post in a few months.

Marty, I know I've seen their posts before (OGR?) but I'm not sure if  they have ever posted here. If they have, it's been a while.

Ernie Emrich aka Lionel2341 and Daylight Don Grabski?  These guys always had a good post and were very helpful on the boards but lately seemed to have vanished.  I know Don was starting to build layouts and Ernie works with TAS but it's been a long time since I've seen them post on the boards.  Hope both are well.
