I read that Ed Reutling passed away yesterday. Those that knew him know what we have lost. For those that didn't know him Ed was a prolific modeler and scratch builder and a willing teacher to anyone who asked for his assistance. Ed was scratch building O scale models to get what he wanted in the days before Atlas O and the other RTR stuff. If Ed wanted something he'd spend a few days cutting, gluing, painting, etc. then post a photo of the finished product. If anyone else wanted one Ed would mold up some copies and send them to you for a few bucks. I always waited in anticipation for those AC&F parcels so I could assemble them and send Ed a photo, Ed's enthusiasm was infectious and inspired many of us to do better work or think about bigger goals. A teacher by profession and a teacher by nature Ed will be greatly missed..DaveB
