Thanks Ray and Ray!
I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend at least on of Fred's meets. It had become an institution unto itself and a large dept of gratitude is owed Fred and his family for making it so.
Thank you Fred!!!!!
Unfortunatly, I believe this is the beginning of the decline in the number of meets where the traditions and skills from the past are shared. I suppose that is a topic for another thread.
Thanks again!
Joe,
Makin Chip$ and Havin Fun!

Rick, I AM in the movies - you just watched me.
Only the voice at the end is not me, it's Ray Skaines.

Rick, my favorite shot is Raymond pulling the stripe at the end. If you take a look again, you can tell Raymond is holding his breath for all he's worth. And when the camera comes up you see the look of relief and satisfaction that he not only pulled a dang nice straight line, he can breathe again.
Cracks me up every time. Posted by Raymond Chapman (Member # 361) on :
So that's why I was getting light headed. I thought I was just getting old.
Fred's is just about the only time I pull out the brushes. They go back in the kit on Sunday and are not used again until the next year on Friday. They forget how to operate during the year and it takes a few hours at Fred's to retrain them.
The old timers at Fred's always had the same spot in the shop. The easel shown in the video was used by me, Ray Skaines, and the short Okie. Skaines always tried to prove that he could letter smaller than anyone else and was constantly trying to remember the alphabet. Mark just showed off and made the rest of us look bad.
Those memories grow richer with each passing year.
