You're right. I guess I just assumed since it was white instead of manilla (the way BT-30s were made in the late 60's) that it was one of Carl's regular tubes, but I coulda sworn I saw a spiral on there the other day!

Don't feel bad, I assumed the same thing until Carl told me the story at the ORR Saturday night. I had to double check, too. He did a super job rolling them. So good, in fact, they look machine made and fooled the both of us! While they might not hold the same value as a tube turned by Gleda, these "red" kits took a lot of thought and time to make, and are valuable in their own right. I generally subscribe to the thought that kits ought to be built and flown (and not hoarded), but this one will remain sealed. |

I can't think of any way to get into it that wouldn't screw it up, though I am just a little surprised he went to plastic caps instead of figuring out how to do paper ones I was hoping that the story about the straws would be something like "...and Gleda needed some straws for a party one day and brought a box home from work. 48 years later she finds the box and uses them for the Red Scouts!" heh.

Board games? feh! Give me a real trivia game at a bar with beer, nachos, and playing for $50 bar cash! I'll take a piece of pie, too, though.

I'll leave the trivia to you Roy. But I'll take you up on the beer and nachos. We must have tripped over each other a dozen times at NARAM, but I still don't recall seeing you(not sure I would even recognize if I did), didn't see your name tag, and forgot to ask around. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to formally meet. Ah well, maybe next time.

I definitely saw you a few times, but didn't put together the name and handle until I read the message JRThro just posted up on TRF.
