It will take 3 weeks to make Gene Pitney a casket from solid oak, But only 24 hours from balsa !


OK...Who is Gene Pitney and if the poor man is really deceased, why not go and buy a wooden casket from the funeral home....and what has all this to do with model airplanes...and why am I writing this, anyway??? Frank, in Hendersonville, TN who just got bypassed by the tornado...

Gene Pitney, Singer/Songwriter, big in the States. Died recently in Cardiff UK aged 65 years Had a famous hit, "Only 24 hours from Tulsa" Tulsa rhymes with balsa. Hence tenuous link to RC aeroplanes. Humour
