Kenb Posted July 9, 2017 #1 Posted July 9, 2017 Hi everyone. My name is Ken. I was what you would call a semi-active member here before the crash. Did more observing than posting, but did have a post that is now gone. So I will introduce myself as new and start over. I'm a native NY'r living in Georgia for the last 20 years. To be honest I didn't even know about the upset until about a month ago because things in my life got changed around and I had different priorities and had to put my hobbies on the back burner for quite some time. Now I'm close to retirement (65) and starting to get back into things. I build in plastic and wood. I have completed the rattlesnake and the cutty sark previously, but surely have to be a bit rusty at it now. I have a good stash of kits and will soon decide what to build for my new start. Going through the forums I see that things really haven't changed much. It appears that it's still the great bunch it was before. I'm looking forward to getting back into the hobby and participating in the great forums here. Ken ccoyle, mtaylor, geoff and 2 others 5
