Mike, who's that hiding behind your wife--was he afraid his full face would break the camera? (I always ask any photographer if his camera is industrial strength before he takes my picture).

That would be me.

 

Actually, I am quite the Ham in front of a camera. Just judged the camera angle wrong.

I am in the back row between the big 8 and 0.  Kalmbach's Chuck "Rehab My Railroad" Sable is in the green shirt next to Carl.

K.P., I couldn't get the link in my email to work, but the picture does come through nicely when I look directly at the forum.

This is the 11th annual gathering of the TRAINS.com Forum members for a photo at Trainfest in Milwaukee, WI.  This year the photo was taken on Saturday November 14th.  This date was when TRAINS magazine held its 75th Anniversary dinner at the Harley Davidson Museum in downtown Milwaukee.  I was in attendance and it was a great night.  Thank you TRAINS for 75 years.  Looking forward to another.  

 TRAINS.COM Forum Photo Trainfest November 14 2015 A good group this year. But we seem to be getting older. I can't understand that. by Keith Schmidt, on Flickr" target="">2015 TRAINS.com Forum Photo

Unfortunately "yours truly" lost the slip with the names of those in the photo. So this will be a self identify version.  I am the guy on the right in the back row with the light brown shirt on.  

Enjoy Keith  

 

Secret Cult?

 

I can’t get kschmidt’s link to work, nor what is hidden behind the visible link.  The x’s tell me the link is faulty. Yet other posters post as if they see the photo.  Is this a secret cult situation where some have the code or codes?

 

Baffled,

Yes, Carl, I recognized you and Pat.

I wish someone would post the names of all who are in the picture, so I would know whom I missed meeting in person.

I'm Little Boy Blue, holding the sign.  My wife Pat is behind me, instead of behind the camera, this year.

I was watching for this in the modelrailroader side, so this morning I ventured over here.

My wife and I are on the far left.  She has on a BN sweatshirt and I have a WC hat and T shirt.

This was our first time participating in the photo.  The show was great!

Mike.
