Hi all! I'm a new member to the board, but I've been watching from afar for years now! My moniker EXJL is exactly that, I'm an ex JL employee, struck down by the corporate takeover. I was the Director of Marketing and Product Development for the last 2 years of PM JL. I had the pleasure of bossing around the legends of JL, Jeff Koch, Art, Tony, Mike G.,even Mac and Al. Though I didn't always agree with some of the comments and suggestions that were put out onto the board, I always liked reading it. I feel I know a lot of you just from reading your comments. I found that you all are very perceptive and passionate about die-cast collecting and I learned a lot from you all on how to make great collectible cars! You always kept us on our toes, the common line around JL was, "make it right or the board will let us have it". Thanks for making my hair gray! I look forward to seeing and meeting many of you at Lightning Fest! :wave:
