Billy R. Hudson

What do I say about my friend, modeling buddy....... my Dad?

The few words that I say pale in describing this beloved man that 

gave all of himself for our family. From the time I can remember building models

teaching me skills that I will use for the rest of my life. Always concern that I have a model to fly.

Always reaching for the next brass ring expecting bigger and better things.

I say........ Thank you   Dad   until we meet again.
