Zonker, Let me know if there is going to be anyone at the Fremont meeting. I am currently planning on attending, but would hate to show up and be the only one. I have been busting my butt on getting my train station closer and closer to completion, (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
