Thanks to everyone who came out and joined us for some model railway fun at Ann Kemp's place on Tuesday evening. Close to 40 Rotarians, spouses and friends joined us for the special social.
 
A message from Ann:

Several Rotarians have not seen John’s Model Railway and have asked if they could see it.  Unfortunately John was not well enough during the last year or so to manage to run it and do all the intricate things that it requires to make it run.

John's model railway layout is large and you will see it as John left it.  A project like this is never finished and if it is, you have to find something to change!! John built it all himself and replicates an area in Wiltshire, England. His stand alone model of the Trout Creek bridge (on the end wall) was built after John had scrambled around taking about 100 photos from differtiny stuffes. Each tiny strut he cut by hand. I would never have that kind of patience. A friend of ours from the coast, Tony, will be at the social and will have a couple of trains running. ~ Ann

Thank you to Ann Kemp for hosting this special gathering and supplying the drinks. A great time was had by all!
