Good morning,
I want to let you know that due to on going health/physical issues and a loss of interest in the hobby among other interests I am leaving the forum sorry to say. I just don't have what it takes to sit for very long and do anything on the computer.
I do have a few models that I want to sell also if you know anyone interested. I have no boxes for them and asking $10.00 each. There are nine models. I prefer not to deal with any auctions if I can find a home for them with just a sale. See pictures of what I have and I am open to any offers. We are just cleaning house and cutting back as far as we can on everything.
I have enjoyed the forum for many years and think of everyone as family and friends and I will miss being involved here.
I do believe that we will both be well again and that our faith in a living God will see us through this time so we are both at peace with this growing process.
I want to stay in touch as much as I can with you and as always I enjoy so much getting your emails.
Thanks again for a great time of memories and old cars and just a lot of fun.
God bless
Dick Johnson

I have a Verizon Cell phone if you have same then there is no charge. I would be glad to pay the L.D. Charges too!
I will take all but the top three, no need for the 10 wheeler or the small Citroen Ami (Lite Green) or the Blue Corvette.
Read that as all the cars facing north in the first pix. the Citroen-C5, Citroen SM, 49 Ford, 57 Plymouth 60 Plymouth and the Citroen Hy Van-Panel truck.
I am sorry to see you lose interest and have more medical hassles. For sure I will miss the retro or old time pix you find to publish that is a Super Hit for me and Thank You for doing that. May God Bless both you and Ilene may all your dreams come true and that you are both able to enjoy. You will be missed.
I live in Issaquah so easy to transport them. I'll pay the 10% to the club also.
Sorry to see you go, I wish you health & happiness.

Dick, I'll pray for you and Ilene to return to being healthy again.
Your posts have been my daily dose of "feel good". You post the unique, the vintage and the beauty of the things in the world.
Be well my friend
Hope you will drop in once in a while to say "Hi" and tell us how you are doing.
Get well, Dick. Take care of Ilene. We'll miss you and hope to hear from you.

My friend, as I said earlier.......
Well Dick I'm sorry to see you go but have enjoyed your posts VERY much. I understand completely why you've chosen to do what can only be considered as necessary. Good luck as you go forward and enjoy whatever new hobbies come along. I've viewed your models and already own the ones that interest me (sorry). I will never forget, however, your kindness shown to me years ago when you sent me FREE models (which of course will always be in my collection). It's a story I repeat often. The forum will never be the same. Your work and dedication will never be forgotten.
We will all miss you and your wonderful posts very much, Dick. I hope you get to feeling better and you will stop in now and again to see us ! Take care and thanks for all your posts over the years.

Guess I'll add my two cents. I wish you and Ilene a loving retirement. Dick, I must say, you are a true gentleman, who has given us all pleasure with your many posts, especially the old-time photographs. You will be missed. Please check in with us from time to time. If you and Ilene should ever make it to the North Carolina area, let me know, as you will surely be welcomed in my home. God bless the two of you.
