My Second Vintage Club Roman

Last week, I wrote a blog entry about having found lifelong friends through my love of horses and the model horse hobby. Susan Bensema Young is one of those friends.

Sue has been aware of a difficult situation I have been in - in June of 2018 I sold my Vintage Club Roman to Michelle Evans but have had trouble getting payment from her. Since she does not have much, I sold him to her for only $90 and she promised to pay me in two months. I received $10 from her about six months into the deal,  and I am still waiting for my money a year and a half later.

In the meantime, Michelle has attended two BreyerFests, several model shows, and paid Liz Cory for a DW Hagen Renaker! Attempts to work a trade or to have my model sent back to me have failed. ""I should have some money by...." and I am given a date. But that date comes and goes and I receive no money.

 Look what arrived in my mailbox earlier this week.
 Vintage Club Roman, 2018, #712241.

Sue came into possession of a Vintage Club Roman and passed it on to me as a gift.
It even came in its original picture box!

When I'd sold my original Roman, I'd had seller's remorse and regretted selling it. Now I have Roman again in my collection. But better yet, I have experienced the blessing of having such a good friend as Sue.

I have named my Roman "Sue's Friendship."
