My name is Dave and I have been a member since 2011 and just recently needed to post a question. This was my 1st post and was called out on the fact that I have been on here since 2011 and never posted. My apologies but frankly I didn't have anything to say that I felt would be a contribution. The amount of information to read on here is just so much fun that I have been reading and learning. I have been a fan of Tiki, Poly Pop, African art and general Mid Century Modern since the mid 1960's. I grew up with older brothers and was exposed to most of the cool stuff that existed back in the day. I still think life was better overall back then. It just seemed that everyone was happy with their situation in life. Today I am semi retired, I say semi because I still work a little but only at what I like. Currently I am a contributing Photo Journalist for a national Nostalgia Drag Racing magazine. I fill my days with writing, wood & metal work, Airbrush art and pinstriping. Right now there is a 26' single rowing shell in my basement being repaired. There is a 19' Double rowing wherry in my yard that is for sale and a 17' all wood kayak also in the basement being built. Thats about it for me. I have yet to realize my dream of publishing a magazine and writing a book but God willing those will happen soon. Dave
