This is very Sad! I knew Jay since I first joined D4C....

...as a Charter Member back in 1994. Met with him every time I visited FM for the car show. We would both take tours of FM's magical operations. He was always a gracious person and the diecast hobby would not have been the same without having Jay as a resource. Really its the overall group that's fantastic. Tony P, R Minasian, R Hardnock, G Bojaciuk, Roy Rauch (he was always friendly to me and had great stories and details)..... I hope someone can jump in and get the newsletters flowing again. Its minor but a fun part and one of the only pieces left to remind us of the great two decade period.
