Chris is a very active member of the club and a Past Chief Commander. His extensive documentation of his 42 Commander restoration has been saved in the CCCC Archives (SuperDisc and Resource Collection). As the Archivist, I am posting some of the entries from the previous website here on the forum. These are preserved in PDF format so that they can be downloaded and saved. He will continue to share his adventure in new forum posts and we will continue to archive them.
