Nice to meet several of you! Greg, no, there wasn't a steam track this year. [V] Several people we talked to were disappointed about that.

What a great show. Rene, was great to meet you. I think there should have maybe been a live steam track. Or was there one earlier in the week? Wish we could have taken in some of the tours. My wife and I are planning our San Fran trip for next years convention and hopefully stay a little longer than one day. - Greg

I won't be able to make it, but if you go on the layout tours, say Hi to my Brother Doug and my Father Robert at my brother's layout in Bartlett.

Anyone planning on attending the National Convention in a few weeks?
Would love to meet a few of you. Even though I don't post all that much.
I waited to long to make reservations and finally found a room in ELGIN 16 miles away. Oh well at least I am getting to go. - Greg
