Sorry I'm late ...

[Richard]

I didnt know that you knew Gordon, Richard.

He is a very nice person, and a bit shy.
One of his avocations now is making toy ray guns for sale to those who are interested.

I am glad you have given Gordon his own page.

Meg

Hello, Meg ...

You ask about Gordon Smuder?

I didn't want to be guilty of threadjacking. But, I'm very happy to chat with you here. What would you like to know about Gordon Smuder and GW?

All the best,
Richard

Richard and Meg...behave...er...or stop bahaving.   Richard, I've known Meg a long time and she has the uncanny ability for straight talks...so sometimes her humor is a bit easy to miss.

Meg, I don't know Richard much at all yet but can see he's trying to behave.  (And I know you were just joshing with him but not everyone get's your sweet teasing baby. )

So, my sage??? advice is Richard, tell us about Gordon S. and even though Meg sounds serious...don't take her TOO seriously (especially when she has the whip! )

Carry on children.

[Meg]

I met Gordon over a 2 day visit to Minneapolis, with Suzy.
I found him charming, and very into his toys.

He had done some excellent customs.
I really enjoyed seeing his drawings, and hearing his story.
He has (at least) one letter signed by Hans Beck, himself, thanking him for his designs.
As evidences, Geobra used them.

I found him shy, and charming.
I just didnt know that others knew of Gordon.

And I am very happy for Gordon, that Richard has given Gordon his own page.

I remember that now! But I didn't know of the letter by Hans Beck or that they used his designs...just that you met him in Minnesota.  Those are some excellent tributes. I hope he joins us here some day.

Hmmm ... Sorry, Diana, but it seems like you got caught between two conversations that Meg and I were having, albeit on two different threads. My bad! I should have copied the other conversation over to here (or at least linked to it).

Since Meg and I seem to be finiished "yanking each other's chains" on the previous conversation here, please let me now copy my post from Tim_w's thread over at the Customs & Conversions Gallery.

Tim,
I met a man in Minneapolis.  His name is Gordon Smuder.

Hello, Tim ...

Yes, Gordon Smuder has been feeding Playmobil ideas for many years ...

Some of his drawings and ideas are hosted in the GW Gallery which you can access by clicking on the image below.


click on image above for all the graphics

I agree with everyone who suggested that you share your beautiful off-road dumper with Playmobil.

Our own Playmofriend, Customizer (Andi) can tell you the person to contact in Zirndorf. Just send him a PM or an email.

Thanks for sharing your splendid creation.

All the best,
Richard

I hope that this all makes sense now. Again, sorry for the confusion.

And, after all that ... There doesn't seem to be much left to say about Suzy and Gordon as y'all seem to already know more than I do ...

All the best,
Richard

Thank you Richard!  Sorry if I stumbled in where not needed. It's been that kind of week.

In totally unrealted news...which seems to go on the Richard Topic:

I'm having a puppy!

Even though I have only just met you, Diana, I am already beginning to believe  that you are always needed ...

I don't know whether to congratulate you or to ask if it's a very worrisome medical condition that you have developed ...

Please say that congratulations are in order ... 

All the best,
Richard

My thoughts exactly

If one of you wise ducks can tell me how to compress photos, I'll illustrates.

That's the nicest thing I've heard in some time Richard.    Then again, it is finals week.

What is it that you want to illustrate? Or, do I ask too many questions? ...
