Hello forum members,
My name is Katie, I'm Dans (scalelover) wife. I just wanted to thank the members here for being such a wonderful group of people. As some of you may know my husband has been fighting with some health issues and as of lately he has taken a very harsh turn downward fighting it. I know that he has always admired many of the builders on here and has so many wonderful things to say about this board. He was always trying to show me and explain to me what it was that he changed around or built,and the amount of patience and skill it took him to do so amazed me, he was not generally the most patient person in the world. His passion's were always working on something in this hobby and i just wanted to thank everyone here for helping him to get through these hard times knowingly or unknowingly by just being in this hobby,and inspiring him to continue fighting and working no matter how down he was.
He always described this board as being his inspiration to continue fighting and working harder at managing his illness, and to always work harder on his trucks to make them masterpeices as many others on here do. I can not think of a time when he had anything bad to say about you guys, it was always smiles and oohs and aahs after looking at the pics of the trucks and equipment.
With all that said I more or less just wanted to thank everyone and the operator of the board Freddie? I think thats his name? Believe me I should know it, I here alot about his trucks and trailers. Thank you for having such a great place for all of you to come and share your passion as a group instead of by yourself. It helps people in more ways than you think, I'm sure this will be the first place he will come to once he is back home and I hope it will bring a big smile ear to ear as it always has.
Sincerely
Katie J.
