Mel's toy collections

I have a long time friend, Mel Birnkrant, that lives but a few miles from me. My relationship with Mel started one day, years ago, when I received a frantic phone call that his computer had crashed. He had found my business in the phone book. Anyway, Mel explained to me that Dell simply wanted to wipe his hard drive clean and re-install Windows. Unfortunately he claimed to have thousands of images on the computer that couldn't be lost and could I help.

Mel arrived some time later with his computer in hand. Being very protective of his work, he asked if he could sit and wait while I did the work. Well, it ended up taking hours and hours to recover the images. During that time, we had a couple of cocktails and formed a friendship that has continued over the years. By the way, I was able to save all of his work.

Since that time I have visited his home many times and every time there I see something new that I hadn't seen the last time. It is absolutely awesome. You should follow the link above to Mel's web site directly. Also he recently sent me a link to a blog that a James Gurney writes called Gurney Journey. Check this out as well. He did a good job with Mel's work.

Enjoy your visit to the Mouse House.....
