Maybe complaints about room lighting are just a symptom of our collective aging
and increasingly poor eye sight! <G>
I noticed a few folks in Scranton carrying small LED flashlights and I believe
Dan Navarre at River Raisin Models had one to light up fine detail on his brass
models to potential customers. Might be we should all start carrying them.
Personally I don't enter model contests, I'm not that good a modeler, but in
the future contest judges might be given a small LED flashlight as a token of
NASG's appreciation for their service and to just flat help them see. Sounds
like an idea that could be communicated to NASG's contest chairman Monte
Heppe...
Bill, thanks for your kind words and congratulations to you, a well deserved
honor. I had the "pleasure" of spending 14 hours in a car with Sam McCoy
driving home. Let me tell you, he's a heck of a lot more fun chasing trains
ahead of a thunderstorm in Ohio! {GRIN}
