Forgot to add. From some research I have done on Drysdale I believe he started building on the west side of Manhattan, NY in the early 30's -- probably around 33 or so -- and continued to build in his shop on Canal Street in lower Manhattan until the early 1960's. Before coming to NY he was California Junior Champion. I think in 1928 but am not sure of the date. Edward Albert Chappaqua, New York, U.S.A.
