Default Is Les Andrews still around?

First off let me say that I mean no disrespect to the man but I've been admiring the wonderful books that he's published and I can't help but wonder if he's still doing what he loves to do or has he moved onto something else....?

Last December (2019) Les was scheduled to make a presentation at the MAFCA membership meet in Clairmont, California. A few days before the event Les suffered a Medical problem that prevented him from attending. I was at the meet and was looking forward to seeing him again. Word is that he recovered and is fine. As far as I know Les is alive and healthy.

Very cool Tom, thanks for the info. Do you know if he ever post on this forum or not? I hope to meet Les some day and shake his hand and thank him for all that he's done in the hobby. I know that without his books I'd be lost for sure. Take care everyone.

The man is to be commended for his devotion to the hobby. Lots of us are indeed indebted to him. A gentleman and a scholar !

I received his book as a Fathers Day gift shortly after I got my car.. Could not be a nicer gift for a newbie Model A person.
