Grant and everyone,
Yes, Stooge panels will continue.
I actually started the thing by accident way back in 2000, because I
wanted to add a couple of modules to my system. The very first Stooge
panel run consisted of 6 panels for my system - a Dark Star, a
breakout panel for an Encore Expressionist, and 4 Oakley mixers.
Once I posted pictures of the results to the list I was startled by
the interest. Larry offered to help early on and if we've had any
success and staying power, it has to be attributed in great measure to
Larry's tireless efforts to deliver to everybody what they asked for.
I've asked Paul Haneberg to step into the breech caused by Larry's
passing. Larry and I were together on a bike trip that last weekend,
and we had already decided to bring Paul in because the whole thing
was getting to be a bit much to handle.
My philosophy is to build anything that makes sense and that people
want. I would be happy to build MOTM or dotcom format panels for any
of Grant's wonderful creations if people want me to. Or if you prefer
Grant to supply them himself, that's cool too!
I have to sort some things out that Larry owed customers still before
I embark on the next run of panels, but that will be sorted out soon I
hope.
