Please e-mail. I am not a Train fan (almost entirely Space, and
occasionally Town), but I would be glad to meet other Florida Lego fans. So
far, the only people I have known in my area who liked Legos sold them or
packed them away. I keep checking the Bradenton Herald for Legos for sale,
but they too are rare. On occasion, I do find them at garage sales. Other
than that, I thought I was the only one. Thanks!
P.S. I may not be able to go to Orlando, but perhaps as far as Tampa (for a
meeting).

| (...) That's great you don't have to be a train fan. This is why we start the LUG. We are planning meeting in the Clearwater area and a second meeting St Petersburg area. I will post here and email you when we have a date and place. Build on... (...) (23 years ago, 13-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.us.gflug)
