The Alexander Sosiak Memorial Tbird CD

[YellowRose]

The Alexander Sosiak Memorial Virtual Thunderbird Show & Shine power show is now available. This show was produced in memory of our founder, who gave so much to us in the short time he was with us in life.

The show contains about 225 slides of '58-'66 Thunderbirds that belong to some of our members here on Squarebirds. It shows what a Tbird can look like when it is rescued from a field, or other location, and put through a thorough restoration. You will see the Before and After pictures, in some cases. You will enjoy seeing the many different Tbirds that our friends have been working with, and enjoying.

The show runs about 21 minutes, using Microsoft PowerPoint, for both Mac and a PC and it will loop. You will need the Microsoft Power Point Viewer file for those who do not have Microsoft PowerPoint.

I used to put this on a CD for mailing, but now I can send it through email for FREE! See the additional information in the next post on how to contact me to do that.

I think you will enjoy the Power Show. I certainly hope so.

The Alexander Sosiak Memorial Tbird CD

I just happened to see a guest looking at The Alexander Sosiak Memorial Tbird CD thread that I created shortly after Alexander's passing in 2008. After his passing, and I had assumed the responsibility for the daily activity of the Forum, I started working on the Microsoft Power Show. The idea was to memorialize his activities regarding the Founding of our Forum, and efforts to further popularize and spread the information, availability of Tbirds, and parts for them. Initially, I created the Power Show and put it on CD's because it was to large, at about 68MB to send through the email. Copies were bought and sold across the world to those who wanted it.

More than 10 years time has gone by and we still miss his leadership and presence on the Forum every day. However... we have been able to maintain his every post and thread for posterity for all to view. Untold numbers of people around the world, Forum members and Guests, have been able to access what he wrote. His family has forever been grateful for the present leadership having stepped forward and expanded his Forum to what you see today.

It just struck me that there are many of our members who might like to have a copy of this Memorial Tribute To Alexander Sosiak! Now I can offer it to you for FREE, through an email! A lot has changed since I started creating power shows years ago, and I have created many, many of them over the years. Most of them had to be kept short mainly due to the 10MB file size limit through email. But no longer.

There are file sharing websites now that allow you to transfer large (up to 2GB) files for FREE, quickly, and securely. I use We Transfer https://wetransfer.com these days, to transfer files to friends who like to view my large power shows I create. So if you are interested in having your own copy of The Alexander Sosiak Memorial Tbird Power Show, please send me a Private Message for my new email address. I will tell you how to access We Transfer (for FREE and safe) so you can download, save, and view the Power Show... The music on the show is from the BBC "The Thunderbirds" show of many years ago, so turn on your speakers! The Microsoft Power Show is available in the PC format, and also the MAC format..

Hi Bob, do you own a PC or a MAC? I have both versions, so let me know which to send. You will need Microsoft Office or the Power Point Viewer file to view the Power Show... The show is a tribute to our Founder and first Webmaster, Alexander Sosiak, in whose memory we have kept this Forum running for so many years now. It shows a lot of the Tbirds, that he helped restore and repair through his advice through this Forum. Many of the Tbirds you will see ended up being featured in the yearly Squarebirds.org Calendar, first by him and them by me the last 10 years.

I saved that email address and deleted it out of the post, Bob...

Hi Eric, I am about to send you the 70MB file via We Transfer wetransfer.com. It is safe and free to use and millions use it on a daily basis around the world. This Microsoft PowerPoint show will require you to have Microsoft Office on your PC or the Microsoft Viewer file. This show is tribute to Alexander Sosiak that I made after his passing and show all that he did to help fellow Squarebirds Forum members get their Tbirds back on the road. Many of the pictures of Tbirds you see are still on the road and active on the Forum. Also many of them are no longer with us. You will have one week to download the file and then it will be deleted from the We Transfer system. I hope you enjoy the many pictures. If the music is to loud you can turn down your speakers. .pps for the PC file is sent. Only took a second or two to send it to your email address. If you do not see an email from We Transfer, look in your Spam, Trash or Deleted folder. Please let me know if you enjoyed seeing it.

Hi Eric, I see We Transfer just told me that you downloaded the Alexander Sosiak file. I hope you have a PC with Microsoft Office on it, which contains PowerPoint. If so, it should open up and start playing. It is a large Power Show so it will run for quite some time.

[YellowRose]

Ahhhh! I see you did get it and watched it. Yup, now ya know what Alexander looked like and his wife also. It was a shocker to all of us when we got the word of his passing. Anyone else who wants a copy of it can do what Eric just did. Let me know and I can send it through We Transfer. It is easy and safe to do, and millions use it every day to send files to large for email. I have been using it for many years.
