| | | | | The TCLTC Changes Its Name
|
| Since I have relocated away from the Twin Cities of Mpls/St.Paul, MN, I've decided to change the name of the club. Eventually, I plan on moving to Tucson, AZ, so "TCLTC" will stand for "TuCson LEGO Train Club, but in the mean time, I'm going to call (...) (15 years ago, 16-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
