A true story the group might enjoy. I attended the "Helena Rail Fair" in Helena, MT a while back. This show features railroadiana, collectible and scale trains, is the largest in the region, and draws a lot of people. It was already quite crowded when I arrived. As I normally do, I did a fairly quick walk through to see who has what, and then get serious about my shopping. While cruising through, I encountered a lone elderly gentleman in a wheel chair several times, apparently also doing a first look. A couple hours later after I had finished my shopping,I once again encountered the gentleman with the wheel chair heading for the exit. Only this time he was PUSHING the wheelchair which was loaded with his pile of "goodies" from the show as if it was a shopping cart. I guess our hobby really is good for a person! Ron H.
