For those of you who love old cars, I lived on the west side of California Ave. between 21st and 22nd streets. My dad bought this car, a 33 Ford Coupe, in 1959. It was his daily driver, and set in our driveway until 1979. When he sold it, it was restored to the current condition. The first picture was taken approximately 1967, the second and 3rd were taken in about 2003. With me in the middle picture are my daughter, Brittany, and Terry the guy that now owns the car.

I played Santa four different times last Christmas. I don't know who this little girl is, but she sure wanted to see Santa. Becky made the suit for me.

Becky and Danny at the ATHS national truck show June 2014. We are having fun showing the 1955 Mini Divco. It was originally owned by ButterKrust Bakery in Topeka. They used it for store displays, school carnivals and parades. Danny bought and restored it in 1995 for his daughter. When we take it to car shows and parades there are a lot of Topeka residents that recognize it as a piece of Topeka history.

These are two of the brass and copper models that I build as a hobby. The photo was published online at worldsweeper.com along with a story that I wrote about why I built them.

My hobby is scratch building models out of copper and brass in 1:48th scale. To see more of the things I've built check my web album.
