Well, here it is June 6 and my copy of the July CTT still hasn't shown up in Lower Alabama.  Once before my CTT never arrived, and CTT sent me a makeup copy.  It's beginning to look like that's the way I'll have to go this time, too.  I wonder who's getting my copy between there and here?

Just a reminder, if your subscriber copy is is one of the misprinted July issues, call 800-533-6644 and customer service will send you another issue.

I finally got mine!  as for how far the "Waltons" are, not quite sure, through the woods, I'd say about a stone's throw past two hollers.  But if you take the dirt trail up the mountain, it'd be a half day's walk (just gotta watch them tumbleweeds).

Looks like another good read though.  The Legacy information is timely for me.  Gives me more of a push to finish everything and get the trains going.  Soon it will be time for scenery on the foam prairie layout.

I have two copies [advanced and regular subscription].  I'll autograph one and mail it to you. Wink [;)]  Right now, an autographed copy from me is running about $1,000 per copy in Buckeyeland. Shock [:O]  With a bag of GRITS thrown in, it runs about $1,400 each. Whistling [:-^]

Mel.....Don't worry I used to have those nightmares, too.  Started about four years ago the day after the Chief visited me in Roger's Corners.  Very expensive therapy sessions for weeks and weeks with rare medicines have stopped the nightmares, but now I find myself singing Yankee Doodle several times a day.

Do you think they banned it in Maryland, too?  Call me and I will read my issue to you over the phone.  (Do not reverse the charges, as the Chief does all the time to me.)

BANNED in BUCKEYELAND!!!

Yes, indeed the new issue of CTT was official banned in Buckeyeland due to the inclusion of a photo of the Chief.   The announcement stated that they did not want to see mass riots in the streets of Roger's Corners due to this antagonistic photo.   Needless to say, I have a clandestine copy and I am selling peeks at the Chief's photo.  I hope the Roger's Corners police force does not find out about my illegal copy. 

Laz and Marty....Looking good there guys!!!!  I think you are ready for your own TV show.  We could call it Trains with Laz and Marty.  Pretty orginal, don't you think? 

Congratulations to one and all for this outstanding achievement.  (I didn't even know the Chief could write.  Confused [%-)]

Mine came all screwed up. It's like there are 2 CTT's put together!!!  It goes like this:

Pages 1-26, 39-50, 39-62, 51-62, 75-100. Pages missing: 27-38, 63-74.

I wonder how this could have happened!!!
