Greetings One and All,
"Thank you", to our Tucson members
Margrit Laman and Tim & Karen Johnson. Your hospitality was greatly
appreciated. We first met at Margrit's fathers house and toured his
large Marklin layout. Margrit had coffee and pastries for those that
attended. We discussed the best possible ways that the layout could be
moved to Margrit's house and agreed that the best time to move it would
be when it gets cooler. After a pleasant lunch we went to Tim &
Karen's and looked at Tim's grand undertaking of the SBB. It will truly
be impressive when the mountains are in place along with the dam and
lake.
Our May meeting will be on the 19th at
11:00 AM at my house, 1226 E. Mineral Rd in Gilbert, AZ. Please let me
know if you plan to attend and how many will be in your party, as I
plan to get a submarine sandwich for our lunch. This meeting will be
more of a business meeting as we will be discussing dues and our
venture into ETE modules. Hopefully I'll have my garden railroad
back up and running, so if you have some LGB equipment bring it along.
I'll also set up my HO switching layout and maybe by micro HO layout
will be running.
Also May the 5th is the swap meet at
the Baptist Church at Central and Bethany Home Rd in Phoenix. I will be
there selling some of my excess stuff (sorry American not European)
along with Kent (Kent give me a call and will hammer down the
logistics).
In regards to our June get together,
we will be having that at Kent's and Kent will at that time be allowing
our chapter members to purchase items from his fathers collection.
Kent, Tim or myself will be putting out further details as the time
draws near.
Till we meet again, happy trails to
you (sorry I couldn't resist)
Respectfully submitted,
CJ
