I've known Les for 40 some years... He was a member of KKIM and SLAM, as well as the club here in Dixon (NITTC) until we disbanded after 15 years. Les also originated the concept of the Build n Bull.
He was a virtual walking encyclopedia of model car knowledge and a bit of an AMC guru.

I'm so glad that I got to spend time talking with him at the show yesterday.... He will be missed.
