Fabulous Find: Fantagor # 1

Greg Turner — Fri, 23 Oct 2020 11:00:00 +0000

Well, we are all still in quarantine/lock down here in Michigan. It looks to continue till the end of May. Hopefully, by then, things will be better and much safer to return to, what will be, closer to normal. We really don’t know what that will look like yet, but I’m looking forward to that…
