Being in the nature of a genial location for imaginary nations of the Eighteenth Century to carry out diplomatic affairs . . . (not the place for rule discussions, miniature manufacturers, painting reports, history of your country or other things that belong on your personal blogs).

A Real Loss - For those of you who do not know but Ed Studer, owner and operator of Tradition USA, has passed away. I do not know the details of his passing, just that his wife, Miriam, informed me that they would no longer be operating their miniatures business. I don't know how many of you purchased miniatures from Tradition USA but for the several years that I did, I found Ed to be a real gentleman as well as a great businessman. He was always there to back up his product and to answer questions. I had occasion to call him a couple of times and those phone calls never seemed to be inconvenient or for that matter anything but cordial. The world of wargaming needs more entrepreneurs like that. I know I'm going to miss him a lot. - Mike
Wow, what a shock. I was a regular customer of Tradition USA and in fact I was just planning an order that I was going to call in tomorrow. I will miss Ed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad passing in our hobby. There are never enough true gentlemen to go round. My condolences to Ed's family.
ReplyDeleteA sad time for Mr. Studer's family. They will be in my prayers.
