Coincidently, The Northern Ohio S Scalers had an email thread recently about Bill Gerraci. Gary Ippolito had sent this email out to the group the other day.
I was also hoping I had the opportunity to research Bill's articles myself, but, time won't let me. I've added the photo Gary refers to in his comments below in a NOSS - Misc folder just created. -- John ------------------------------- >From Gary Ippolito I've pondered that question a few times. For those of you who don't know Bill, or can't remember that far back, he was one of the premier S Scale modelers in the 80's and early 90's. Then, he fell off the face of the S Scale earth. I went to a car show today that had a model contest and I'm happy to report that Bill is still modeling. He's modeling 1:25 cars, but he's still at it. Doing pretty nice work as far as I can tell too. Check out his kit-bashed 1960 Chevrolet roadster. Unfortunately, I didn't hang around long enough to see him, but now I know to look for him at car shows.
