From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas John, What Bob meant by "to boot" is that he got some train equipment along with the money he made doing the adds for Don to put in CTT and S Gaugiam magazines. I will also miss SHS,but hope MTH will follow in his foot prints. Bob wears some big boots down here in Texas. By the way MTH will be at The Worlds Greatest Train Show in Fort Worth, Texas in Jan. My club Lone Star Flyer will have part of our layout up and running. I will be there running trains.

Bob Werre Why would anyone "boot" S Helper products. I can recall someone who STOMPED Flyer stuff. I think he still buys his boots in Maine.
