Hi List Members,
Bill and I got to chat briefly at Cocoa Beach one year, and we conversed
via email from time to time after that. At one point, some months before
the corona virus situation began, he mentioned he was interested in going to one
of the operating sessions that Jared Harper holds from time to time, but he did
not want to make the 8 hour plus drive from his place in Florida to Jared's
place in Georgia on his own. Since I live part-time in Florida about 30 minutes
from his place, I suggested to him we could make the drive together at some
point. We agreed to try to coordinate this with Jared and figure out when that
could happen and when I would next be in Florida
Of course the epidemic and the virus had entirely different plans regarding
this, so it didn't happen. Sadly, with his demise, now it will never
happen.
Even though Bill and I model in different scales, I found his techniques
invaluable, they broke through the 'scale barrier', and his writings raised my
expectations of myself and my modeling in a way nobody else was able to.
I'm sure Bill is now enjoying himself running trains on that great mainline
in the sky!
Claus Schlund
