Bill, Thanks for the kind words that included Yours Truly, Frank and the Herald.
What I think has been mentioned is that Dick Karnes now resides on Mercer Island near Seattle but in those early days lived in Teaneck, New Jersey, near Oradell, and we visited frequently. Your reference to "door slamming" involves us but I won't expand on that further. Regard"S" to all, Wally Collins -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf of Bill Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 10:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: {S-Scale List} Dick Karnes and the DVSG - LVSG "I just finished viewing Dick's progress on his layout and I can tell the " finished " project will be great. However, I'm having a brain meltdown or something and need help. I thought that Dick lived out here in the Northwest, and yet he seems to belong to a club back East. Am I confusing Dick with someone else, or just losing it? : ^ (" Dick Karnes is a charter member of the Delaware Valley S Gaugers. An S gauge club that back in the sixties featured such notables as Frank Titman, John and Hal Bortz, Wally Collins, Lee Johnson, Bob Christ, Elwood Whitworth, Merton Smith, Cliff Brown, Matt Lacko, Bert Mahr, Cy and Jay Behrens and many more. [I apologize for those I've missed.] The DVSG changed its name over to the Lehigh Valley S Gaugers about June 1991, the DVSG club was most likely started in 1961, but we are not sure of an exact date. We are proud of what our club members have accomplished in keeping S Gauge alive over its 40 some years of existence, especially during the dark years immediately following the closing down of AC Gilberts American Flyer. to mention a few, The S Gauge Herald [Wally Collins/Frank Titman] in particular, and also Frank Titman's Lehigh Valley Models. Every once in a while the old timers get together and tell stories and they are really funny, like the time Dick had a door slammed on him! Or all the beatings Frank has had on his last name! Bob Christ was a real riot, and so on, and on! Hope this helps, Bill Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
