Your artwork is enough to bring a smile to any SPADophile, Bo.
Great job, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Just had a thought! It doesn't happen often, so listen up!

To save Bo's mouse finger, why don't we all club in a buy one of Russell Smith's beautiful pieces of art and have Russ sign the back - from all the boys @ WW1aircraftmodels.com

I'm up for it! Anyone else?
Cheers,
Bob

With all due regard for Bo's work, I would vote for Russell's painting. Anyway, I am going to participate, even if it required raising the stake.

Bo as well as Russell are great artists, so I will follow the majority and the contribution may be raised if necessary.

Kind regards
Patrick

Considering all the work Bo has already put into this, I say we go with Bo's card and with the overage, order a print from Russ.  He's got a SPAD VII in his "Open Print" Gallery for $25.  Let's do both.
Cheers,
Bud

You are so right Bud. Both will be unique representations. Good thinking my friend!

    I like this option Bud. From the unanimous response to the original proposal I believe we could do both AND have enough for framing etc and a sizable overage to help the Forum as well. I have several of Russell's prints and enjoy them immensely. Like Patrick, however, I will support the consensus on the final choice. Remember too, Greg could never have enough SPADs! :)
Cheers,
Lance

Getting two is even better. I am for it.

PS. Sorry, Bo...

Bo, I did say I had a thought! It does take time for the 3 marbles in my cranium to collide, such is the distance between them... lol

I'll go with Bo first and Russ as back up.

Keep up the great work Banana King!

This topic has now been put on hold for the time being. I am still awaiting a reply from Cheryl, Gregory's wife, with a mailing address so we can send the card, if she does not want to give out that information we will have to shelve the idea.

As soon as I hear news from Cheryl I will reopen this topic and let everyone know, it will either be yes or no.

 I received the following email from Cheryl today, it is excellent news. Cheryl also sent their mailing address so I will now pass it on to Bo and we can now get the ball rolling.

Des,

Good afternoon,I've a update for you on Gregory's health. I was told this morning that my husband will be returning home next week after finishing this round of rehab. It's been a long time coming and as you'd guess It's A Very Joyful Day around here. It very hard to believe Gregory has been in the Hospital and then a Rehabilitation Hospital for over 3 months now, He'll still needs more rehabilitation and we're all praying that he will be able to walk again in time .For now he's confined to a much hated wheelchair. But knowing Gregory's strong will I know he'll be out of that chair if at all possible at all as soon as possible.Mentally Gregory is still some what confused at times as to be expected.Sometimes I'm not always certain he knows what as happened to him but he does appear to understand that things are different than before. It took a bit of time but he does recognize our family members now as well as others around him.This is a major improvement from the first while after the stroke when he had not a clue who I was or anyone else . I thank the Lord daily for any improvement in his condition and for still having him with us. Never doubt the power of prayer and faith.
I did tell Gregory that you wanted our address for a card from you and his friends on the forum. I can't tell you how much that boosted his spirits. My personal thanks to you for your very kind offer. Once he's home knowing Gregory he'll want to check in on the forum. I may have to help out a bit with the mouse and tying but I'll see he stops by to see his wonderful modeling friends.Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. God Bless You and Yours.
