First let me introduce myself, I am Wendell Burnett from Louisville,KY. I have been lurking around here for a while. I'm a student of the Crafts of Pinstriping and Lettering, I've been a collector of Ratfink and Ed Roth's stuff since I was a kid so it was a natural progression for me to start painting. Along the way I have met a lot of great people and made some great friends who have helped and advised me and let me draw on there experience. That brings me to the subject of this message.
I was talking to Frank Magoo last night and he asked me to say Hi to everyone here for him. Frank is in the process of moving to a new area and is not online right now. He's excited about his move, I will let him tell you all about that himself, he will be back on here soon. He also asked me to post my pictures of the Rat Fink Reunion that was held at Ed And Ilene's house in Manti, UT in April. This is an annual event put on by Ilene Roth and her family in honor of Ed. This year they opened the new 14,000 sq. ft. Museum Building. We all had a blast? here is the link to my pictures
If you surf my photo site there are pictures of some other paneljams and shows that I have attended.
Thanks Wendell

Wendell, Thanks for the message from Frank Magoo. Although I've never met him in person, I have become very fond of him through his posts. Since he left Letterhead I have been thinking of him often and wondering how he is doing. It's wierd, but I care about him and his well being. The Bullboard isn't quite as colorful without him! I hope he returns to us soon. Nancy

Hi Wendell, thanks for the photos and say hi to Magoo. One of my prize posessions is a hand painted Rat Fink on a 5 gallon can I got from Ed Roth back in the mid 80's.
