Hi everyone. I’m Jim’s wife Jen. Excited to be a member of the group. I’m so happy my husband has found his way back into the hobby after 10 years. He really enjoys it and it’s really great to have his focus on something that he enjoys and is good for his mental health. You seem like a great group of people and I’m happy to be a part of it.
