        Re: OK I hope I'm not beating a dead horse but check this out... —Eric Joslin
     (...) I'm excited by the fact that the folks from Greenberg came to Lugnet specifically to ask about Lego train stuff. That means good things about Lugnet and the Lego train fan community in general, IMHO. I'd be happy to contribute some buildings (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

     (...) Good Point! I have been trying to sit down with my wife to hash out a date for a BBQ.

         Meeting planning (was Re: OK I hope I'm not...) —Eric Joslin
     (...) Should we plan for the week after next, then? If we can pick a date, we might well be able to a) get the private room and b) give enough notice to attract new people.
