Paul,
Wow! The whole display is fantastic. I really liked the snow scene. I'm
hoping get over to Belleville soon (from St. Louis) and see this
display for myself.
I *think* the coordinators of this display wanted us (GtwLUG) to help
w/ some setup, but I never heard much more than that. I'm sure we can
check on, or even be an "on-call" resource for, your trains in the
event of a problem. (Hope the other GtwLUGgers don't mind me
volunteering them too.)
Everybody with display,
If you need any help tearing down, let me know - I'd like to meet some
more AFOLs.

| (...) Thanks Jack. Boy, do I feel stupid now. We should have posted for AFOL's in the area to help set it up. We thought we could do it fast, but we spend 12 hours straight setting up, and building, with three people! We had tons of idea's, but no (...)
