Feel bad but good at the same time
Well long story short, I will be moving back up to north Texas next week. As some of you know all my model builds were displayed in the library of the school I work at. Since I am moving and knew how much all the kids and staff loved seeing the models and didn't like spending hours taking down and packing them all up I gave all of them to one of the teachers son's. You wanna talk about a happy kid. I feel bad because I worked so hard on and loved some of the models but I feel good because I could pass them on and make some one happy. But on the bright side, I can always build them again. I just hope once I move I will get out of this slumber and will get back in the mood to build again.

Good Luck in north Texas !
Sounds like you lived there before. I hope that you liked it then and will like it again. Snow in north Texas is possible. Be ready to make papermodels when the snow starts falling. Winter is coming !

Good decision WRT the models and the school -- saving you lots of inconvenience and helping the kids keep perspective and knowledge available only through models.
What part of north Texas, exactly? A good friend and former colleague retired to the Longview area; we meet for lunch every three or four months at Trinity, the halfway point, so I can't help wondering about the halfway point for you.

Yale,
I will be moving to Mineral wells, so ruffly the half way point for us would be the Temple area if you want bigger city or Marlin or Kosse if you want a smaller town. I do know of a good restaurant in Kosse, use to eat there every other week when I lived up in Groesbeck. Zakopious, Yes I have live in north Texas before, I was born in Ft. Worth and have lived all over this big state. I am looking forward to some snow, hadn't had any in two years since I moved down here to the gulf coast.

Oog, that's a far piece. But perhaps you'll get to meet some of the Forum members from the greater DFW area. Any chance we could get together closer to the coast before you move? (Grew up in eastern Iowa, had my fill of snow long ago.)

Dear Inky:
Don't drink the water in Mineral Wells been there done that 50 years ago there was a neat hotel there on the springs. There used to be a wonderful restaurant in Palo Pinto near Mineral Wells in a very old gas station had the best Chicken fried steaks ever, neat old scout camp there built by WPA called Worth Ranch. Enjoy the move, Miles Born in Buffalo NY raised in the Dallas Fort Worth area

why not just leave the models in the Library for all to enjoy?
In any case, you did a good thing by paying it forward. Isaac

Inky,
You never know you have influenced him to become a modeler and enjoy our hobby for the rest of his life. Jim Nunn
