He told me that he had a stroke. I did not ask him anything about it. He did not sound sick to me but then a stroke does not neccessarily affect your voice. Then last week I called him again but had to talk to his wife. He was sitting in the background because I could faintly hear him answer his wife when I asked her a question about Cams. Apparently you can get cams from him for $30.00 Bucks a pop. I was looking for a P3 for my Kodak Ektar 127mm. If anyone can help please say so. | ||

He said he is in physical theropy three times a week and is expected to make a full recovery. To listen to him, one would never detect that he had a stroke...his mind is as strong as ever. His spirits are great! He mentioned that many people from all around have been in touch with him which makes him feel real loved. For now, Fred can handle a parts order but will not be performing repairs for at least two more months. | ||

I talked with him about 2 weeks ago and he sounded good. I didn't expect to get it back so soon. And of course it works perfectly. I just discovered this website, what a great resource! Guess I'll be busy tonight reading through all this! | ||

I was in awe of his workroom basement. It includes a museum of 108 at least graflex cameras of all desprictions in perfect condition. He is not back to perfect himself, but is not letting his recovery rate slow him down. He is a wonderful character that is a pleasure to have met. His wife is so sweet and helpful and adores her husband. I wish that if I make it to being married for 54 years like they have been, that i can have as much love and energy as they have. One standard that he adheres to is the personal credo of that when a camera leaves his shop it will work properly and be better than it was before it broke. We have a gem in Fred, long may he stay active and happy. | ||
