Just talked with Tim this AM, he wrote me back this, he is also planning to be at the Fun Rally in Monterey to have his new block on display:


Thanks Ed,
I have had one person who has had Tod transfer his deposit to me.
So Will could contact Tod and request that he forward his deposit to us.
 
FYI…I am planning on coming to the Pantera show you told me about.
If you could forward me some other details, that would be great.
 
Thanks for the heads up…

   I would be interested if Tim would honor the deposit I gave Tod.
   I understand that he has no legal obligation to do so, but the goodwill
   would be enough for me to buy his block over an established Windsor
   alternative.
