[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

I would expect nothing less!

I imagine I will say or do a few things in a post or two worthy of such treatment.

Take a number and get to the end of the queue. I have to rest between beatings.

5. Number of years in RC subs: Gosh since the 1990s off & on, starting by building scratch build museum models then to RC subs. Those shipyard resin paper weight desk models in Museum just didn't cut it. Merriman's fault! Read his Albacore article in Scale ship Modeler and I was hooked. Wrote many articles in Sub Committee Report. Was for a time SCR Photo editor for covers when they were printed then. More to come soon returning to writing. New article on HMS Meteorite this fall.

Then took a break for UFO Investigations 6 years - 400 cases with MUFON. Chief Investigator Northern California. Then tired how slow the UFO/UAP click old farts protecting their castles - so **** that and retired there (those lazy asses - something so damn important & all they wanted to do was take credit for my work and brag on radio talk shows), returned to RC and static model building Retired. Never really saw anything, but got in some real firsthand witness reports where they actually happened. Learned a lot about people.
