I would say Fred was living the dream! I met Fred when I was a little kid, at Charlie Eckstien's house in Arlington, VA in the late 70's. Fred was a fixture and I remember seeing him at the East Broad Top as well. He had a hot rod Mustang that really impressed me as well. Later in life I was able to visit his layout in Bayfield and he still remembered me from a 1000 years ago. He was close with my family in Durango and I know they will miss him as well. He was a wealth of knowledge and fine gentleman as well.
