In The News
The local paper ran an article about my Twin Mills diorama in Today's paper.
Brett--thanks for the kind words!
Karl--I SWEAR I spelled you out by name to the reporter! Not that it matters, but Dave Frary was referred to as "the author".
Here are both parts:

The water looks very real as the camera moves around in the video.
Its a well deserved accolade.

Well done.
I was shocked at the amount of spaced they gave it (not to mention a "plug" on the front page). Also, I get a little nervous when reporters don't record conversations when doing interviews. She wrote stuff down like crazy as we were talking and was far more accurate than most interviews I've done (non-modeling stuff). Other than what I pointed out above, she was very accurate with quotes and details. The other notable mistake was my own: I gave her the wrong age of my oldest daughter wrong! Ooops. Hey, she was 13 a couple months ago... I think.
