Re: Pondering or just talking to myself

Not always cabooses...? At some long forgotten Fest banquet, Pete Jugle (now deceased) held up some very rare Flyer boxcar and said it was from his collection and he intended it to be a "special prize".? He had someone read a door prize ticket number and immediately Dave Garrigues and Ken Hein flew to their feet (at least that is what my memory was...) with the winning ticket.? There ensued a loud argument in the middle of the banquet over who got the prized AF chunk of plastic.? Rollie rose and said he would solve the 'problem', whereby he walked up to Pete and promptly smashed the boxcar, presenting pieces to each "winner".? Of course it was all a well planned ruse that sucked in the entire banquet crowd (me included!)...? Proof once again that "30' paint jobs" will fool us all and we do all take ourselves way too seriously...
Not sure if that was the beginning of car smashing but it was a fun moment.?? My sense is more people remember those "smashing" moments than specific conventions or Fests... Jim Kindraka Grand Rapids, MI P.S.? I have found the small storage drawers like Mike is using at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Target, etc...

From what I recollect hearing about the theatrics was that he did it to AF cars, likely cabooses which reproduce in dark closets.
