If you're looking for the date the 'club' started displaying LEGO trains at

1985 was the first year a layout was taken to a show.  The other date is
much more fluid.  (I wasn't around for either; this is based on Conan's

I guess what I'm looking for is the exact date on which GMLTC started calling
itself GMLTC

That is probably much closer to your 3/5/1999 date - I think John Neal gets
the credit for actually giving the club a name.
