Well, they hadn't gotten very far until I got a note from Brad Justus saying that

TLC would like to be involved, so I think that is a great sign!  Already we have

folks from the PNLTC, NGLTC, and GFLTC definitely interested.  And I know of

others who will come.  I think this is going to be a milestone LEGO train event!

Agreed.  I was thinking about either the 3rd or 4th week in July 2002.

No exact dates, but as for place, I am thinking Minneapolis, Minnesota.  As far as

keeping you and Ben posted, it would be great if you guys signed up on the IOLTC

grouplist where you would be able to keep up with everything.  Go here:
