Re: [RCSE] Dream catcher close out sales

I first met Jim Simpson at the 1995 Nats.  We shared a tent and spent many 
hours watching the rain and discussing his plans to manufacture classic 
sailplane kits.  He had a custom giant scale sailplane that he was selling 
and had just completed the first run of 50 Sailaire kits.  I had just 
started flying my Sailaire again when the Nats started including 
Nostalgia.  I bought one of the first 50 kits to have a backup just in case 
my Sailaire came to an untimely end.  The kit was much better than the 
original Tom Williams Sailaire that I built back in 1978.  I found Roy to 
be very pleasant to deal with and know many people who have had equally 
high opinions.  For several years, Roy contributed heavily to the workers 
raffle for the Nats.  I haven't seen Roy since he quit attending the 
Nats.  Wonder how much having to deal with obnoxious customers had to do 
with his decision  to get out of the kit manufacturing business.  Whatever 
the cause, we have lost another kit manufacturer.  Wonder who will be the 
next to go.
