Well, from the horses' mouth I got this...

At NARAM 51 my wife and I were walking into the vendor's tent when, honest, really" Gleda Estes trotted over to us saying," Gord, (she knew my name!!!!) Vern has something for you.

She ran over to the SEMROC booth and grabbed me one of the, then new, Golden Scout kits in a tube and she says, See, he put in a tube just like we did when we first started out!"

Honest to God, that is what she said!

So Gleda Estes said, " That is the way we shipped them when we first started out."

The picture is of mine and my wife's Golden Scout both signed and the kit I got from Gleda.
And everything is signed!

Now I should find where I put that mahogany and build a display cabinet...maybe American Walnut...
