I've belonged to the NMRA for over 20 years now, and for several years when I was a teenage model railroader. These days I don't personally get much out of the NMRA, but still keep on more or less out of momemtum. Where I live in Canada is quite a long way from the NER division main area, and their conventions are usually to far away for my interests. I was the NER Achievement Program Coodinator for five years, and I am quite astounded at the times some posters have indicated that it took them to get their Golden Spike Awards! Since most NMRA/NER members were always a long way from where I lived, I usually assessed their award from photos I had them send me. I'd have their awards out in a short time. Other major awards would take somewhat longer, as their requirements were much more time consuming. I personally have five awards in the Achievement Program, with most of the requirements for the final two to get me Master Model Railroader status, but I haven't had the interest for a while to put in the effort required. Maybe some day.... Bob Boudreau
