Called Indiana Army Surplus this morning to talk to Slim about retro parts. I was informed that he no longer worked there. A nice lady, Joanna,told me she had been thrust into doing what Slim did and I guess doing what she was already doing...so now she's got two jobs. She was very helpful and attentive. Man...I'm gonna miss Slim he was always good to me,sure he was good to a lot of members here. Just thought I'd pass this a long.

Slim definitely helped out a lot of us. I enjoyed dealing with him for nearly 3 years. Always pleasant and professional. He will be missed. That said, I am sure that Joanna will be helpful as well. Maybe not as much as Slim was, but helpful nonetheless. Indiana Army Surplus is a really good source for us retro guys. At least until they have depleted their supply of original parts.

Yuppers, called about an order from 2 weeks ago that was AWOL; found out the bad news.  Original order was probably file 13'd on his way out the door.  Went ahead and re-ordered.

Are you saying Slim has passed away or is not longer working at Indiana Surplus?

Slim knew his stuff. When you called and asked for a part he knew what you were talking about. Great guy and always helpful to me. Hand picked some parts for me too.

There's a lot of that going around. I'm currently working three. Every time the company loses an employee they just give the tasks to someone who already has a full plate rather than hire somebody new. Hopefully Slim simply retired or found something better and that he's okay.

He did not die, he just quit working at the surplus store and moved on

Hmmmmm. I csn tell you that he wasn't of retirement age. I wonder if Joeanna is Troy's wife. I know a couple times that I was up there Troy's wife was there working. I never caught her name though.

That's good to hear.

I was going to call next week and ask for him and ask about a few parts.

I never had the pleasure of ordering from him but have read many of people have good things to say in the past.  

Just curious, what all type of Retro parts do they usually carry there?  I hate to call and ask what all they have just to know for my next build.  But it would be nice to have a general idea of what they have in stock for future builds.

Since Slim left I can’t get anyone to respond to emails.
