Glad to sign it, Marty. It's a good thing you told me it was the GR car that I needed to sign. When I caught up with Phil to sign it for you, the first car he pulled out was your 50' box car that was in the contest. I would have made it look like proper grafitti. [:D]

It was great to finally put faces and names together at the convention--both in terms of the attendees and the rest of the GR staff, who with the exception of Marc, Vance, and Jack, I had never met in person. It's a shame we didn't get a photo of Martha wearing the flowered shirt, though she'd probably claim it was her evil twin.

Later,

K

OK, My signuture car arrived to day VIA friend bringing it home from the show.

Thanks again GRYS staff.
Today we had an open house and I had lots of folks view this car sitting on the siding.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Back home. I'm sorry i did not get alot of show photos. Dealer tables kinda all look alike.
but I meet lots of fun people and seen some old friends.
I did not get the whole GRYs staff in a photo, but heres some.

Maybe Rene could help me with all the names. Phil Jenson is bring my stuff home so i don't have the last names with me right now.
(BTY) Pat is not that short !!!



And I finally caught up with Marc to get him to sign my 20th anv car. i did have all the staff that dropped by sign it. I have a signiture collection train that i am working on.
its funny how easy it was to talk and forget to take a photo.

I did catch Kevin Strong outside


I was so glad to be able to finally make it to a convention. I personally really enjoy seeing and chating with those I see on the web sites and in the magizines.
Thanks GRY staff for a FINE job and for being a commited team.
i will post photos of the car when i recieve it.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?
