2022 HOLIDAY LIST YOUNG FREDDIE’S LONG FORGOTTEN EARLY MODEL MEMORIES 1964-1969 Sometimes, all it takes is one picture to bring back a beautiful memory from decades ago. For me, this happened about 10 years ago, when my mom spent many hours creating a childhood to adult scrap book for my brother, sister and I. She went through hundreds of pics taken from a period of nearly 50 years and made us all very happy. For me, one pic in particular brought back probably my first toy car/model kit memory. The photo was taken by the Buffalo News and probably goes back to about 1964. It shows about a 5-year-old Fred and my 3- year-old sister Dee smiling, standing next to a table of toy cars. I wasn’t familiar with the pic, and had to ask mom the history of this event. Apparently, our Temple decided to hold a toy show for adults and their kids to display all their toy car and model kit goodies. There were several tables of Corgi, Matchbox, Solido and other brands of 1/64 scale to 1/32 scale metal cars and trucks. The metal toys took up about 2/3 of the table space. The rest of the space went to promos and model cars. Obviously, at age 5, I wasn’t at all worldly, so seeing even a humble display of dozens of scale cars was incredible. At this young age, all I recall are cars, cars, cars!! It was a dream come for me. We were a typical middle- class family with not much spare change rolling around, so I wasn’t aware of all the exciting brands of die cast out there in the free world. I used to dream about cars and loved driving around Buffalo to id all the new cars on the road, and occasionally see a classic car from the 40’s or 50’s. I wish I could take me back 55 plus years to see this show again, but it was just the first of many model and toy shows I’ve attended since the 80’s. Those shows, especially before about 2010, have made me as excited as a kid in a candy store. Thanks to mom for a great modeling memory. The next few memories of models from my pre-teen years are not at all worth hearing about, but then again so some of yours. Mom used to send me to different summer camps to get me out of her hair during vacation time. One of those was a Town of Tonawanda camp, which was hosted on the grounds of my school, Ben Franklin. This happened around the summer of 1968. I recall playing a few sports and also learning some metal shop basics. We all made metal napkin holders, and used nails to pound in the initial of our last names. Somehow, my holder ended up backward, but I still finished it. Mom used that napkin holder in our home for many years. Thanks mom. My first attempt at building a model kit also occurred in this camp. That went even worse. We were each given a Revell Huey helicopter kit and a tube of glue. I wish they wouldn’t have given me the glue. I just about used all of it on the kit, and quite badly at that. Every square inch of the kit had glue marks on it. The finished product looked like a helicopter that crashed! I was jealous of some of my classmates, who actually had something respectable to look at when done. That could have been the beginning and end of my model career, but it wasn’t! For my birthday that year, some well- meaning relative gave me a Hubley Ford coupe, which is of course a metal kit. Maybe I would do better with metal instead of plastic. Nope. The main problem with this kit was flash, flash and more flash. Jumping Fred flash! Dad gave me a file to get it off with, but it was hard work and I was a lazy boy. I hated it from the beginning, and after about five hours of work I didn’t feel I was getting anywhere. I put the unfinished kit off to the side and never returned to it. That should have been the end of my modeling career, but it wasn’t. The following summer, we had a big block party on Kettering Drive in Tonawanda. Everybody knew everybody on our block, and it was a pleasant affair. Lots of hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and dessert goodies. Plenty of friends and games, too. I was acquaintances with a guy named Tom, who was about 2 years older than I was. We were talking bs and he asked me if I wanted to see his 68 Chevelle model kit in his bedroom. Since it was car related, I said sure. I’d seen the real car on the street recently, and liked it. Off we went to his house. On the way, he bragged about how he had “souped it up,” which I generally thought meant turned it into a street machine. Well, his idea of “souped up” and mine were a bit different. For one thing, he had only painted the interior and nothing else. For another, the only thing that differed from stock were drag slicks and wheels, no engine mods or traction bars or anything else. I said “cool,” but didn’t think it was anything special. That was the only model kit of Tom’s I ever saw, and this memory went away for many years. My final memories, to the best of my memory, was getting into lukewarm water over a model kit. How? My first cousins Mark and Steve, lived not too far away from us in Tonawanda. Their dad, Art, was related to my dad. They grew up together in North Buffalo during the 30’s, with probably ten people in one large upstairs apartment to save money and pool resources. Mark and Steve were several years older than I was, and had some interest in cars. While visiting one day, I noticed and admired an AMT 58 Imperial model kit. It was cleanly build but unpainted. Mark asked me if I wanted it. I said no, I couldn’t take it, even as a gift. Mark insisted, and off I went to my new home in Williamsville in early 1970. Once home, I didn’t know what to do with it. I was used to playing with toys, and just staring something didn’t quite do it for me. I had an idea to do something more with the car, and that something was turning it into a demolition derby car! I didn’t alter the car, except for bashing it into the baseboards of my bedroom. After a few hard hits, the car just about looked right. Missing pieces of bumpers, cracked glass and windshield posts and more. Mark came to visit us one day and casually asked me about the model. I was quite evasive about it, and he insisted on knowing. I sheepishly told him what I had done. He was furious and said he’d never give me a kit again. He was right. I was without model kits for another year. Then, I had plenty of them! Now, I have even more. A final story. In early 1973, my parents gave me the gift of a trip to Los Angles to my Uncle Herb, Aunt Sandy and family. LA was a trip: the crazy highways, crazy people and overcrowding. Apparently, Herb found out about my model hobby and surprised me with a trip to a huge hobby shop in the burbs. The place was about three times the size of the hobby shops I’d seen in Buffalo. All sorts of kits by every maker, but unfortunately an emphasis on Roth kits and TV/show cars. Not really my bag outside of Tom Daniel kits. Look as hard as I could I couldn’t find a single kit of interest. Herb kept urging me on. “It’s my treat” he kept saying. After half an hour we walked out empty handed, Herb ragging on me all the way home. “I can’t believe you didn’t buy anything” he kept saying. Me, saying over and over I just couldn’t find anything I liked. Oh, well, a memory buried for years. Now I know why. Thanks for all the model memories, good and not quite so good. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL As I get older, my feelings certainly have changed, and for the better. When you are young, it’s easy to take things for granted. You assume you’ll have good health well into old age, family to be around forever, enough money to have a comfortable life, and a job you like. Watch what happens when some of these things get taken away from you: losing loved ones, illness, financial disasters, and loss of employment. I’ve been through all of those and so have you. So, what’s left after you’ve dealt with life’s blows? Well, whatever’s left. Aches and pains but you’re still above ground, some family and friends, enough money to make it to the end of the line, and maybe a part time job to fill in the gaps. Be grateful for what you have, even though it’s just a modest life. When I’m down, I always remind myself there are many people worse off than myself. Lift your head up, keep moving forward and always remember the bottle of Dr. Brown’s Cherry soda is half full. Happy holidays!! JUST IN TIME TO SPOIL YOUR HAPPY HOLIDAYS…. UPS announces a 7 percent hike in rates for their customers, which means me, which means all of my customers, which means you. In the past 10 years UPS has raised rates by at least 50 percent. Simply staggering. Being a mail order business, I’m stuck and have no other options but to pass the bad news along. For postal customers, expect the same early in 2023.
