John Grams death notice (Milw Journal)
Posted by dknelson on Friday, March 25, 2011 8:17 AM

Milwaukee toy train collector, author, and authority has died; here is the article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (the primary focus is on his jazz knowledge and radio broadcasts - but there is also mention of his interest in electric trains).

I remember I used to drive to swap meets listening to his Sunday morning big band swing/jazz radio show -- and yet there he'd be at the swap meet selling trains.  Obviously the show was taped.
