    Actually I'm not really interested in Waldo, but I have been trying to locate one of the icons of the R/C Naval Combat hobby....J.C. White. I was a member and later one of the officers of the South Coast Battle Group back in the 80's/90's. That is until I was transfered by the navy to a different coast. Over the years I lost t;ouch with J.C. and now that I'm moving back to SoCal I would like to get in touch with him again. I would really appreciate any assistance in this effort. Any information would be awesome. Just PM me if you like or post here.
    I recently ran across some letters he sent to me when I was in Desert Sheild and Desert Storm....ahhhh old memories. There was even a small piece of balsa wood with some glue and paint on it he sent to encorage me to get in one piece. What a guy!:cool:

    The HMS Repulse? I'm also wondering if the HMS Repulse from the SCBG, that I built and operated in the early nineties, is still around? She was my first big boat and I would love to know what happened to her or even maybe bringing her back to her original home port.
    Thanks!

    I don't know the answer to your question, Steve, but you might want to try the Big Gun Yahoo group:
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BigGunsModelWarship/
    There are still some former SCBG members who frequent the yahoo group, they should have more information.
