cellar dwellers,&rdquo; Kerry says.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our business philosophy today is the same as it was in 1972, simply put, to provide quality products at a fair price and back-up the product with a knowledgeable and experienced staff.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Fingler notes that he&rsquo;s been around the hobby all his life.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I worked at Cellar Dweller with my dad since 1976, first part-time while attending school and then full-time after attending Red River College,&rdquo; he says.<\/p>\n<p>Fingler says he and full-time employees Jim Holland and Bret Edel are all active model
