No, not the American University, but the Dominion Quarterly catalogs from Bob Hooper.  

I am ready to scan or recycle the old catalogs that Tom gave me.  They are in booklet form so I would have to scan each page separably. 

1998 - 2015.   Does anyone want to see them?

Very nice catalog and replicas shown here ! I would be quite hard-pressed to pick just one item but the excellent images of each would certainly act as a wish-list.

Bob was a terrific guy and a pleasure to deal with. I had many phone conversation with Bob over the years and finally got to meet him the one time he came to the Countryside Show. I still miss him today.

This brings back such great memories! I remember when these came. I’d study every page over and over, and drool over the stuff that was well beyond my budget back then. Thank you for sharing. And I’d suggest sprinkling some out every once in a while on the Forum.

@bob-jackman I remember the first time I met him at Countryside. He was set up just on the inside right when you walked in. That first time was like meeting a celebrity. I’m sure he thought I was a bit weird, but it was cool to talk to him in person after so many phone calls.

@randyrusk Randy, I too remember Bob setting up just to the right as you walked into the Saturday show. Nice memories for sure.

@bob-jackman 2016 was the first year I attended Countryside show. I did not know anyone there. However, I bought my first model from Buz.
