I am waiting for the NASG convention to come to the West Coast, that will be a lot easier for me to attend.

Conventions are expensive to set up-in fact National Railway Historical Society has had so much difficulty finding local chapters to sponsor them that the National has had take on the responsibility more & more in recant years. I went to the very first NASG convention in KC many years ago. I didn't think I should spend the money but my wife insisted. Since then I have probably averaged attending every 3 or 4 years. When I went to that first convention I had met one other S'er face to face. For me, at least, the greatest value has not the model railroading; it has been getting together with old friends and meeting new ones. And going to the convention is the best way to do that. Hopefully you will be able to try it and will have a wonderful time. Chuck Porter ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
