Ron Martinolich Model Collection Silent Auction summary

[mgbdriver]

The modeling community lost a great member and friend this last August, Ron Martinolich. Ron was a founding member of Scale Auto Builders Association (SABA)  which was formed back in '83 along with a small group of Portland, Oregon modelers including model car hall of famer, Bob Paeth. To help his widow, a silent auction of his built models was held in conjunction with The Northwest Model Fest held in Milwaukie, Oregon on Oct. 8th. His models were divided up into 50 lots of 4 to 5 models. I'm so happy to report all lots were sold through very enthusiastic bidding actions. It was refreshing to see fellow modelers come together to benefit a fellow comrade!
