Good morning, all.
I just received an email signed by 'Frank Macy', informing me that I'm on the 'mailing list' of the Jim Walker Company???

I distinctly recall Frank's daughter selling off all remaining stock to the highest bidders, and the collection was scattered.
Has someone purchased Frank's name and given the company fresh breath?
John Thompson, Dave Shrum: Do you fellows know what the story is?

Thanks

Hit reply on your e-mail and ask the sender. Then let us know

I just googled American Jr Classics, and the web site is still there, along with lots of pictures and info. But it does say that Frank passed away, and the store is closed. Don't know anymore than that.

Yeah, Larry! Or maybe open the email, and give 'em information.
Wiser to ask trusted folks than the jerk spamming you...

Last week I asked the American Junior web site under the "contact" area if the Firecat kit was still available.

I was told that John Brodak has picked up this kit, but I've yet to see Brodak advertise it.

Franks Daughter is selling all of the items in storage. I've bought a few items and have been to the storage unit.

There is a lot of items for sale....HOWEVER, she is worried that the STATE will take and destroy most of the estate. She was looking for someone to buy the whole lot.

I'll contact her tonight to find out whats going on. I'll get back to you all!

Thanks, Scott. I narrowly missed the wing for my P26 (Firebaby type, plastic fuse) that was offered after Frank's passing.
Still very interested in finding a copy of the early Firecat profile plan...(the one that looks like the Italian Macchi with raised cowling)

I received an e-mail today from John Brodak to inform me that negotiations are underway for Brodak to purchase American Junior,
Let's hope John is successful!!!

Here's from Franks daughter.

Hi Scott


I have a few things left. I was planning on focusing on selling dads stuff in September. So tell these people to standby and I will contact you then and let you know the details.


Thanks
Terri
