Collecting Friends No Longer With Us

#1

Post by Randy Karasek »

Sadly as the hobby matures collecting friends are passing on. The purpose of this thread is to post name to face in memory of these friends so hopefully they will always be remembered.

Rules for posting in this thread are simply picture + name + date. Please no commentary, remembrances, and definitely nothing inappropriate. If you would like to post comments please start a different thread. If you have a better photo please ask a moderator to edit the given post. This topic will be heavily moderated and anything that doesn't belong will be quickly removed. Also, if any friends or family take any offense to any of the pictures/names posted here, absolutely please let us know and we will remove as fast as possible.

Please note, this is not restricted to just Rusty Bunch members. The hobby is too small to not remember all fellow collectors.

Hopefully this list remains as short as possible for as long as possible...

Bumping this topic.

November 2014 we released a "Rusty Bunch Yearbook - 30 Years". A collection of names/faces/info about members, and sadly some RB members who had since passed. I plan to release an update to this PDF at Spring Thaw, April 2017. With new members since then, and unfortunately as we keep aging more members no longer with us, there will be a number of pages to update and time for a new version of this document.

Here is copy of the 2014 PDF:

[attachment=0]RB2014YearBook.pdf[/attachment]
Over this upcoming weekend I will be posting for Harry Keithline and Denny Thayer. If someone has a picture of Mike Tsolinas or other RB members who have passed, please post picture/date in their memory. This specific thread will be locked to just picture/date please. If you have good memories of a specific member, please submit a paragraph or full article to Chris Taylor and lets get that information permanently part of Rustlings.
