Hi Jace, I do not know Mr. Heald, tried to google him to learn more, found little.
Although I am not in any organized religion, I do respect those who choose this line of work. My email was nothing personal against you as I see you allot on this list, you have great train knowledge and I think we emailed back and forth a few times in the past on friendly terms. Someone told me you might be in this business too? And I did sell a Flyionel product to a made of the clergy last month in Indiana. very nice man with lots of grandkids who loves his trains. Actually one of my best friends of 42 years, we met in high school, as we are now 56, is taking classes to become a minister someday, as he is a chief financial officer for a company in VA. We share many interest like baseball, the same music, singer songwriter, most people you never heard of. And it is okay for him to continue to like Monty Python and movies like the Holy Grail. So it can be all that bad! O:)! Jace thanks for realizing I meant no harm to you, as sometimes I should let these emails just go and not get involved. In fact, I am a member of the C&O Canal Association and the President of the Association was in the clergy. I finally meet him, as I am very passionate about the canal like you are all about the trains. He said he was in sales. I think this is a inside joke among you all? O:)!

Actually, I've known a fair number of colleagues in my line of work over the years who are model railroaders, perhaps because we don't have the full spectrum of leisure activities that are available to the laity (or at least many think we're not supposed to). Most of us, unlike Mr Heald, just don't advertise our day jobs. And I well remember the organizer of the LSR banquet one year when I was stationed in San Antonio who apologized to me for asking his own pastor to do the invocation; I assured him that when I was involved in the hobby, I was just another hobbyist.
