I can't believe my message was the last one in the Memphis column, and I wrote
it 6 years ago!
I have since started using my Yahoo! e-mail as my main one (
Savannius@NOSPAMPLEASEyahoo.com ), I haven't used LDraw in a bit, but still keep
up with all the updates, and I'd still like to attend a LUG or LTG meeting (and
still need transportation outside of Memphis.)
I've since broken down most of my physical Legoes by color or function (slopes,
antennae, minifig accs., etc.), but most still fit into a triple-bagged grocery
bag. (Paper, of course.)

I am trying to locate David/Erin Stiers, used to be located in Fayetteville, AR.
But emails now bounce, physical letter sent to the address came back as
undeliverable. I assume they moved, but they partially paid for an order of
LEGO so I would love to be able to get ahold of them and send it on it's way.
HELP!!!!!

I would like to announce that on May 9-11 at the NMRA Southeastern Region
2003 Convention at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Holiday Inn Resort in
Chattanooga Tennessee the North Georgia LEGO Train club will join forces
with the MidSouth LEGO Train Club and the Greater Florida LEGO Train Club.
This will be the first time ever that three LEGO train club layouts have
been on display at the same show and open to the public.
These three clubs will combine their layouts to form a 25'x44' LEGO train
display. The display will consist of 3 operating train layouts that are
connected via an outer mainline, a Rail Racers drag strip, children's play
area and a MOC display/information table.
For more information about this event and the clubs participating visit:
