John,
With regard to Barry Weeks, he was gone before I arrived on the Stovebolt scene and before I found my project...But I have read several things he wrote and I learned a lot just by studying the photographs of the items in the auction of his collection. He has had a strong, positive impact on my participation in the hobby even though he is no longer physically here.
Barry's wife, Kathy, also made a strong, positive impression of this group and the hobby after Peggy suggested I contact her about the possibility of shipping some items from the auction.
