Les or should I say MRH's Walter Cronkite Great interview

Thank you Les for going to iwata and interviewing them. I saw a guy using a Double action iwata airbrush at a car show in San Diego two years ago and he was painting some of the finest lines I've ever seen. For the life of me I could not remember the name iwata. I have a couple different air brushes and I now will be looking to get an iwata.

Les your interviews have stepped up 200% lately you finally seem at ease when your interviewing people and have become very good at it.

Thanks for the compliments

I don't presume to be a Walter Cronkite by any means (may his soul rest in peace) just hoping to live to a ripe old age as he did. He is a great loss to journalism and will be missed.

As for getting used to interviews I guess I earned my keep at this convention based on the quantity Charlie Comstock and I did, not to forget my friend Jeff Shultz who had a previous engagement and had to leave early.

It's always nice to hear from our subscribers that they enjoyed the interviews, we enjoyed making them!

I guess I should have

I guess I should have congrautlated all of you for the fine work you've put together and posted for us all at the RMH forums. I've watched all the product interviews.

1.Charlie Comstock - A1 photo and Video work. Great close ups and no distortion on audio very clean crisp Video and very nice editing!!

2.Jeff Shultz - Actually I thought you were taller. I liked your video interviews too, you look like you've been doing them for years.

3.- Les Halmos- last but not least!! The first interview you did months ago reminded me of someone that wanted to be some place else rather than in front of any camera. Now you seem to be very much more at ease and more comfortable, the proof is on the videos.

All you guys did a really fantastic job at the the convention and Joe you couldn't have picked a better crew to help you out.

More proof that MRH is Top of the line and King of the Hill. The only thing any other Model railroad E-Magazine can do now is copy what's come before them. Oh wait there are no other Top notch Model Railroad E-Magazine's. It's Good to Be KING!!
