Fitch update
Fitch has broken ground for his new house in PA. He's also picked up
the guitar that he hadn't played much for years, bought himself a new one as well, and is practicing and playing every day. The house has him busy as long-tailed cat in a roomful of rockers at the moment. |

I know it's not easy to pull up roots and start fresh someplace else, and if you speak to the man pass on my thoughts for his sucess.

True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." -- P.J O'Rourke (1989) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

( State College PA to Chatham VA ) and would like to stop in and meet Fitch. I always appreciated his posts. Does anyone know how to locate his place? All I remember is it's somewhere near Gettysburg. ...lew... |

I still think of him every time I run my lathe, the VFD he was so kind to send me for just the shipping charge is running it just fine! Jon |

It is at least in the same state, though I don't know how close to York PA he is set up. If he shows up, he should probably touch base with Scott Logan, who has an easily-found display there.

Hey Don,
Thanks for the update. Say Hi for us. I drove out Hwy 14 to Mojave last week, but couldn't remember the name of the area where they lived. I watched over the edge of the highway for the corral, but no luck. Glad I didn't spend a lot of time looking, as it sounds like they are "gone for good" from CA. Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario.

Hey Brian:
The berg that Fitch and Nedra lived in is called Acton--can't see their place from the 14. Jan Howell |

It rode here bolted to a flat bed trailer along with the other mill and two lathes. It's in pieces waiting for a shop building and some re-assembly. Fitch |

G I plan to be at Cabin Fever at least on Saturday. Its not very far up the road from here - maybe an hour. It used to be 5 days drive. Great! I will be there saturday, too. Ways to spot me: 1) Beard (not enough, in that crowd). 2) Nikon D70 digital SLR camera swung over my shoulder, and possibly to my eye being used. 3) Folding cart with white canvas bag with red handles hooked to the cart for the smaller purchases. 4) (Possibly, depending on when you see me), a woman enough shorter than me so I can rest my chin on the top of her head accompanying me (my wife). She might be elsewhere, taking photos of the models, or resting somewhere.

I'll most likely have on a John Deere hat and a Leather Jacket that says Boeing on it (although it is in small print and almost the same color as the jacket). I didn't see this article until I got back, so I didn't know what to look for. And you apparently did not spot me, so we missed this time around. We left around 3:30 on Saturday for the drive back home. Well ... maybe Iron Fever later this year -- once the weather gets hot. :-) And Scott Logan was not there at all, for whatever reason. Looking forward to finally seeing Cabin Fever after reading about it all these years - and possibly meeting some of the folks from RCM. Indeed so.
