MC READY TO CONQUOR THE WORLD!

This particular MC Little People is one that brings up a lot, I mean a LOT of emotions to me!
A little over a year after  we were married MC started his Air Force career.  We were married in July of 1959 and in January of 1961 he flew off to Navigator training in Waco, Texas, while I remained with my parents and our 3month old son, Bobby.   I moved to Waco as soon as possible and our Air Force Life began!!!   And....what a trip we all had!

MC has been working on this particular piece for a couple of weeks.   It means a lot to him!  The details are amazing!   He represented himself as a newly graduated Navigator leaving for his FIRST trip in a C124 !  

This one will have a place of honor in the collection!!!

 He wants me to add that he did not make the plane!!








AND OFF HE WENT ......INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER!

  2. In addition to being a skilled carpenter, MC is a talented wood carver! I think his "little people" are charming. They remind me of carved folk art people I come across at antiques shops. This one is a keeper!

  8. I cannot wrap my wee brain around MC's attention to detail. The carving is beautiful. Also, love the sure-handed painting skill that must be involved. Wonderful work to capture a memory.
