Guys, Correct that to read April 1954 ORER! I hadn't had my caffeine yet. Rich Burg

Good morning!      Spoke with Jerry last night.  He has been taking time to be with his younger brother who is very ill.  We will be putting his brother on our prayer list at church.  Hope

Thanks for the updates on recent experience with Jerry Glow. I agree that his work is excellent and he fills a void in the hobby which all of us appreciate. Not sure why my order has taken over

Hi All, I have received some of Jerry's decals in the past few weeks and have applied some to cars for a museum layout. They are excellent and easy to work with. No doubt, with this quality, Jerry

Steve: Thanks for the clarification on Jerry, as in the past he has made me several decals sets and his work is fantastic. Paul C. Koehler _____ From: STMFC@...
