After more than a quarter century of effort, Raymond’s instructions finally coalesce, and in a stroke of genius to make up for all those lost decades, Harding suddenly has his brush with fame, utilizing the three fitch technique in Pontiac.

That's quite a feat Harding, especially considering there is no paint on any of those brushes.

You didn't think Dale would let me anywhere near that mural with actual paint on them, did you?

I am witness to David's painting with brush on the Allen wall. In fact he used several different colours there. Honest.

I actually did paint on this. My work looks better the farther you get from it. From Texas, it appears flawless!

Wow, David! While your hand-lettering skills may be a little suspect, your Photoshop expertise is unrivaled. Awesome clean-up job!!

Here's the original photo that I saw...

As you can tell from David's pic, he let his hair down in Pontiac. Sure wish I'd had more time to hang out with you David - you are the wittiest guy in Letterville (although Jon's not far behind.......)

I'm still wondering how Jon got my original photo. Let's see, Chris Elliott took the shot, he must have leaked it to him.

I want to know how Elliot still has the same boots that he wore at the Sandcastle meet, way back yonder.

They must be parade boots, or to be more specific, parade athletic parephenalia... not to be worn everyday, but only on special occasions.

Chris....if you're listening...I'm sorry to have missed you. You are an original, for sure.

We will cross paths again.

Neither did anyone else, Mark. I wasn't there, except in spirit.

Don't ask me to explain why...it's too painful.

I for one, will never again commit to a meet, unless all the travel money is already in the bank.

Living in the edge, like I do sometimes, it's devestating if one or two customers don't pay you on time.

But we will meet one day Mark...it's already written in the books.

Geez Dave Comb your hair... That's just plain disturbing after seeing you clean cut avatar all this time.

But it nice to see someone else has the same painting skills as myself.

Bill, my hair was neat until, following Raymond's example, I started yanking it out to build my own brushes. Ray can't make brushes any more.
