Dick’s figures represented many of my favorites - Alice in Wonderland, Flower Fairies and Wind in the Willows all being stand outs.  Definitely a unique force in our tiny community and apparently a nice gentleman.  He will be missed.

Dick Jenkins will be sadly missed - he was a lovely person and a gentleman.  It was always a pleasure to talk with him whenever I met him at shows and at the BFFS's Annual General meetings in April. 


In the early 1980s Dick

Jenkins was one of a very few people in the UK from whom we could obtain flats.  The first flats I bought from him were the Golberg 'Marlburians' c.1700-20 - and some of them

still

need painting!

[/size]Dick was always very helpful when I needed a figure identified,[/color]

[/size] and, sometimes, would [/color]

purchase figures for me if he was going to Kulmbach. Occasionally, Dick would send me some flats but said I could return them if [/size][/color]

I wasn't satisfied -  obviously, he didn't want to take all

[/size][/color]

my 'pocket' money.

W

[/size]e will all have fond memories of Dick Jenkins.[/color]
