Hey John, is that your son Ross? Not to pick nits, but does he actually qualify
as an AFOL? I thought he was younger.
Not that there’s anything wrong with young kids--I myself am quite fond of one
in particular.
Dave!

I was glad to see Ross' name on the list. After seeing his micro city with
working train so many years ago, I think he was an obvious choice to be a part
of the team.

Well, having seen Ross' other work, I theorize that he's actually John's older
brother, whom John forces to sleep in a small bed to preserve the illusion of
youth. I conclude this logically, because *I* certainly wasn't producing stuff
like Ross' when I was his alleged age.

I've met Ross, he's a great kid. The standing joke in the GMLTC is every time
we see his Dad displaying some of of Ross's work we ask "Does his mother build
with Lego?", feigning that there's no way he could have gotten than talent from
his *dad*... <grin>
Keep up the good work, Ross! And I suppose, you too, John... ;-)

Well, not to belittle Ross' building ability (heck, it's way better than mine
even though I'm probably much older than he is), but how many teenagers have
access to the motherload of parts that Ross has access to?! :)

Sorry, I just came across this post, Dave! Yes, that is Ross my son. Well, he
used to be younger;-) (He’s actually 15 now) 8^0
I think Ross’ age really didn’t come into play; he was chosen based upon a lot
of the micro-MOCs he had built in the past. To be honest, I was probably on the
team only as his adult guardian (for legal purposes). It wouldn’t be the first
time I rode on his building skill coattails:-)

What do you mean? I don’t understand. 8^)

Hey, I’m fine with his age, but I think that TLG is missing an opportunity here.
Sure, it’s nice that AFOLs have contributed to this project, but if he can
legitmately assert that teens/children have likewise contributed, then it would
seem to offer wider consumer appeal.
Dave!
