Default Hey Stan Foster

I just realized that Tom Meents, the Monster Truck star lives in Paxton. He is Stefanos' all-time hero. I have been trying to get him an autographed photo with no luck. Any chance you know him and he lives nearby?

Ken: I know Tom Meents very well. They just made a video of him mashing his old house up with his monster truck. He built a huge ramp and made a 45 foot altitude jump and came right down through his house. He is building a new home just south of town. I will get Stephanos a picure of his place from my RAF. You can see various leftover tires....semis..etc. Heck...his wrecked house is still there. I fly over his house almost every flight as he lives just next to my father-in-laws place. I will also take a picture of his roadsign as you drive into Paxton. Its just 1/2 mile from my house and states Toms achievments for winning the world championship for at least three years in a row.

I will get you an autographed shirt or hat. Tell me the sizes. I am sure I could get you a private visit with him as well. Tell me what show he is going to be near Stephanos...and let me work on it for you. ok?

Also...a few weeks ago when Tom mashed his house to bits with his monster truck...the small local paper our town of 4500 has had a good front page story and pictures of his truck jumping onto his house. Send me you address by e-mail and I will send you a copy.

It may take a little while because he is on tour a lot. Phil Foster is one of his drivers. He is my cousins son. He is starting to become a star himself. Ask Stephanos if he knows Phil. Phil has helped me several times setting curved stairways in place when he is home on break from the truck circuit.

Stan

Great Stan. I don't know...Stefanos is a slightly husky about-to-be 9 year old. I'll hold off on when I'll be taking him to a Monster-Jam. We were thinking of semi-retiring to Charlotte, NC to be near him, and now his idiot of a father is talking about moving somewhere else, probably Long Beach. He says that all the Greeks in Charlotte are hill-billies (from Greece.) This from a guy that never made it through 3rd grade. We have to cash out of this condo. It's worth too much. We may wind up in Arizona or somewhere. Can't be chasing his dad all over the country, as much as I miss him. I'll e-mail you my mailing address. I'll be talking to Stefanos today or tomorrow and will ask him about Phil Foster. Thanks heaps.
