I was about twelve when I first saw the Beatnik Bandit in a rod magazine.... Who was this "Big Daddy" guy. ?  Gawd, he looked so cool and his work was flawless. The nuns at my school usually rewarded left handed thinking like his with a crack on the knuckles with a metal edged ruler ! Big Daddy became the hero of every young artistically /automotively inclined child of the 60's. Our moms didn't understand finkdom and dads were sure we were all going to our ruin as we gleefully spent our two dollar allowance on styrene monsters at the local hobbyshop. But we were there by the millions!    Flash Forward  almost 40  years. .A fifty year old guy walks into a curiosity shop and sees a re-release of the Beatnik Bandit. SLAM !!!!  I'm hooked all over again.!!   I discovered  Ed never stopped .. He was still cranking out monsters and cars that were light years ahead of the crowd.   Today I'm a collector of  Rothamabilia and everyone thinks I'm off the deep end, just like my folks did almost 40 years ago.!    I  am a woodcarver by trade, so I began carving a huge Rat Fink..  Well,somehow Ed Roth saw a construction photo and sent me an e-mail outa the blue...Told me he loved it . Man,  I wanted to go out and get my computer Chromed !     It was with complete shock when I learned of Ed's passing. I had arranged to meet him in July , and I was so looking forward to it.   Thank you, Ed for writing to me, and caring , and having the passion for your art. You taught me how to make my life fun again!!  I will spread that joy in your memory.              Chuck  Kaparich
