           ALL ABOARD!

  Today is "National Train Day." It's a day

to honor the history and importance of

railroad transportation in the United

States. I made my first long distance

train ride with my brother, mother, and

father in the 1940's aboard "The

Liberty Limited" bound for Chicago

and a convention my dad was attending.

My first solo long distance train trip

saw me traveling from Hazleton to

New York City in my Cub Scout

Uniform. My dad met me there at

the old Penn Station! As escorts for

Travelworld my wife and I have

ridden trains in Europe and some

great train excursions in New

Hampshire (We'll be hosting that

one again this October!). If you

live around these parts thhere's

plenty of opportunity to take a

train ride. There's an excusion

from Pittston to Jim Thorpe and,

of coure, the great Steamtown

Historical Site in downtown

Scranton. It's a great Railroad

Museum. I stil have and operate

my own Lionel collection too.

Hope you like trains too. Those

who do are always "on the right

track" in my book! All Aboard!

Hope all your NEWS is good!
