Love it.
Sorry I missed the party. Yesterday was my Birthday. My wife and I would have been there but she had Surgery on the 17th.
She is in the Rehab center. She had total knee replacement Surgery.

We hear ya. We too celebrated a birthday y/day for our son in law, spending the day with the g/kids also.

It looked like everyone there had a great time.

We hope for a quick recovery for your wife. I know these things take time.

Not his first film, but his first "full-length" film.

Railfans.....cleaning out my SIL's house. She was an engineer for the SP, then UP. She must have filched 100 of those 6v lantern/flashlights, other lights, bags of schedules and engine info. That a a good SP jacket.

We tossed a lot of it, but the schedules and books....anybody collect that stuff? I haven't really looked at it, but would if anyone has any interest. I could PM a better description.
