My Dad was a baseball fan, however, and growing up I went to a lot of Mets games (I was a Yankee fan but Shea Stadium was easier to drive to from Connecticut). My Mom was the athlete in the family- used to pitch batting practice and hit fungos to us. My Mom a painter and illustrator of some reknown and my Dad more of a designer type.
A great place to grow up… I don’t know if it was a great place to live as an adult! My parents were both self employed artists. Richard Hormel: I was born in New York City but grew up in the small town of Weston, Connecticut. Jimsapbabarn question #1: Tell us about yourself, your youth, etc (outside of APBA)? We are talking about a shed which is 60 ft by 90 ft, and according to Richard, the previous owner used the shed for detailing tractor trailer trucks.
We are not talking about a small room in the basement (which holds my collection). Richard is the guy who collects everything we would like to collect and keep in storage, only he has actually done it. If you are an APBA fan, or a fan of any board gaming brand, what you are about to read about is a guy with a shed in Nebraska, a shed which would rival any sport’s “Field of Dreams” venue.
