I have accepted a Model Maker position with Waterloo Industries (a sister company of Master Lock) back in Oak Creek, WI and will be ending my time here in Vermont. Time to try something new.
I would like to thank all the New England folks that I have met and visited with here and say it has been nice to share some time with you all in the last couple years.
I will be starting my journey back to the Milwaukee, WI area on Saturday the 10th of May and will be making my way across the country again. I wish I could stop and visit all my friends along the way but I have less time than I did on my way out here.
BUT, If you do have a few minutes to spare and would like to catch a lunch or coffee, give me a call at the number below and I'll try and reach you when I'm in the neighborhood.
Looking forward to seeing you all at live meets or meeting you in person some time soon.

Good Luck Dale. We are almost on the way, if you come thru Michigan, stop for a visit, then take the car ferry across the lake. (It is only 1/2 hour away from us)
Seriously, we would love to have you, and I am sure the Perrins (Little Miss Dangerous)would like to see you again too. Just the other day, we were remembering our good times in Mezzepa.

I think I'm too far down on the map for a drive-by but if you did stop in, I'd take you to Meyer's favorite restaurant for Pierogies. Good luck on the new venture! Love....Jill

Well, the movers were here all day and have most of my things hauled off. Tomorrow they will return for one more load and I'll be down to the computer I'm typing on and a few other belongings tossed into my truck. My favorite part was when they told me "we can't ship solvent based paint" Being an exterior mural painter of sorts....I sure wouldn't have any of that stuff!!!!
Saturday morning I will be off on my road trip back to the Midwest. Get the cheese curds fryin' boys!
Might make a pass through Salem, MA one last time and then hit I-90 on through New York and beyond.
I might have to try the Ferry across Lake Michigan Pat. Sure would save some time. Not to mention avoiding Chicago entirely!
Rod and Jon, I sure would like to come down for a visit....one day hopefully soon, It will happen, then we'll have to find a place that serves Wombat stuffed roadkill Roo!
Mr. Meyer, I usually do the parade lap at the Punky Manor race with the old Camaro. Jacque wants to do it this fall for sure!
Take care for now........."The Gypsy Mural Painter"

Travel safe, my friend, and always remember you have a place in Gator Country whenever you need it. Also a helper if you get in a tight in other territories. I got the camper ready to roll, and have been using it for a while.
Keep it goin' !! Jeff

A warm welcome back to the midwest, Dale. I also left for parts "unknown" that became very dear to me with dear friends in Florida and Ohio for 30 years. The love of family and roots brought me back here to northern Illinois. We are together now in one place, basically, and it feels wonderful. The good thing about it is now we all have a "couple" homes. I am very thankful for the internet to keep connected, but, it is also our skills of lettering and such that allow us to travel for a little while away and maybe snap a job or two if that's necessary. God speed a safe and sweet trip to you Dale; p.s. there's a lot of room for east coasters to visit and I bet they will miss you and try to come this way too for you!
