Regarding the fourteen tractor trailer loads of cars and parts......... For right now the parts and cars are in good dry storage and they aren't eating anything - so they will probably stay where they are - as I still have 27 K/F cars. Most of the cars are good drivers and the parts are sort of my private stock for personal use. As I'm heading towards 70 - one of these days I'll probably need to start considering what the future will be for all of this. ( hint hint Chris !!! )
A lot of this stock was gleaned from dismantling parts cars and each piece ( if worthy ) was cleaned, tested if need be and then boxed and inventoried. The rest are NOS items I bought over the years from older collectors or folks who just wanted to get rid of the stuff.
With all of this said - I'm sure there are those in the club who will dispute these facts - but I have volumes of all of the correspondence - and simply said - it's all in black and white. George Domer was a personal friend of mine and we spent quite a bit of time going over club history. I also have a video tape of George being interviewed by two club members which substantiates what I have just written.
hollenway, I am still confused. You appear to be in Pennsylvania. I thought you were describing the cars Duane Hayes has. I thought you were Duane Hayes because of the connection Duane and Chris have with Fred Walker and that ranch.
I sure would like to know how to get ahold of Duane and see what KF "project" cars he has there.
As for the club politics, I believe nearly 100% of the forum members do not care about the specifics of club origin. Those guys in the beginning all showed good administrative skills to get the club going.
