“Dear Mark,
Looked neat to see SOLD next to the “Marines Dream” listing. I remember looking in a hobby shop window as a kid from a row house wishing I had enough money to buy a model, and doing all kinds of odd jobs in the neighborhood to get the $4 or $5 dollars it cost. Maybe this is crazy but I am glad that Marines Dream is now mine. I only wish my father who was in the 1st Marine Air Wing was alive to see it. He learned to fly after the war and inspired my love of flying and WWII aircraft!”
