Don't forget to stop at Wall Drug in South Dakota -- it's insane... :) --Todd (25 years ago, 3-Jul-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp, lugnet.loc.us.oh)

| (...) Any interest by anyone in going out for dinner after the train show, looks like it ends on Saturday at 6pm. Maybe an informal type dinner where the show can be discussed and so on.. (25 years ago, 5-Jul-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp)

| (...) It'll probably be at my house (space limitations). I'll have to have someone guard the LEGO (heh-heh). I live in an eastern suburb of Detroit. I wasn't thinking about architecture, but yes that would be a great idea. I include some building (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
