Marty,
Yes, she was for real! She was an actual showgirl. She is married, has two kids, and her name was Janelle (her real name). Very nice lady.

I'm back from Las Vegas with some pictures.  Yes I did get to meet Rene and Pam.  I drove up for one day from Gold Canyon (about 5 1/2 hours one way which was still faster than by air) and had a great time.  I attended two workshops and spent all my money on the vendor floor on a new loco, sound, and battery RC.  Pictures include Rene & Pam, some beautiful redwood buildings, and a live steam "Big Boy" pulling a ton of cars.

Finally! Those of us on the right coast get to see what Rene looks like. Thanks for the pictures. That showgirl does look familiar. I think she was posing with Joe Fosky too.

Somebody's gotta be old to have or know who that one is!

Believe or not, Bob, Mad magazine is still around and there's also Mad TV on every Saturday night for 12 years now. Alfred E. Neuman lives! Though I'll probably never get an article published in GR now.
