Hey Guys, The Old Sarge, Jim Gier, has completed the clock he built for the Tuskegee Airmen, Red Tail P-51 Restoration Project. The pictures are here community.webshots.com/album/549255601YYDDAhSarge spent over 150 hours building this one-of-a-kind clock so the folks on the Red Tail project could use it to raise funds to restore the famous P-51. Jim is quite a craftsman and has built hundreds of special awards to recognize people and projects for preserving historical events and artifacts. And many for just be'in special contributors to a significant cause or result. To me, Jim's works of art with clocks serve to remind us that we have a short time on this earth and we'd do well to use it to serve others. May the Good Lord take a special lik'in to him cause we sure have! A tip of the hat and a green bottle brew for this foine Irish Son. Pat Perry 456th FIS

Another Masterpiece by the Ole Irish Clock Maker, Jim Gier. Thanks Jim for all your hard work and generosity. Are you sure you don't have a little help from the Leprechauns?

Finally got a look at the clock. What a masterpiece!!!! I hope you never run out of the "liberated" metal as it adds so much to these clocks. Well done, Jim.
