I was honored this week by the Rio Grande Modeling and Historical Society's board of trustees with this gift of a framed Gil Bennett print. They thanked me for my service as the editor of their Prospector magazine, continuing the tradition of producing a quality magazine that I should be proud of. I recently stepped down from doing this after 7 years as their editor.
