Hello. When I woke up this morning, I thought I had joined the WW&F three years ago today. Still lying in my bed I went htrough all the brillant and exciting feats of engineering and wondrous events and re-creations I had been looking on since then. To only quote those that came up to my drowsy mind, clearing the ROW and lying the track from TOM to Road 218, reassembling the bridge and spanning it over the Troot Brook, insulating and heating the shop, new west parking lot, pavillon in AC, #10 new boiler, boxcar #67, flatcar #34, tankcar #14, then partnership with MNGR museum that led to the building of a ramptrack and the carbarn extension, partnership with MLMW and the building of a spur. As regards the events, Victorian Christmas Specials, Spring 2018 Photograhic Excursions, The Grand Reunion. Of course I don't forget the all-important backstage work such as writting and implementing the new Rulebook, the Five -Year Site Plan, and the Fossel purchase at TOM. The task you have achieved in only three years is downright fabulous and absolutely reflects the endless enthusiasm,eagerness, dedication and amazing skills you all display to bring back to life those endearing and historical twofooter and thus make your dream come true.
I would like to thank you heartily for all those memorable moments of pleasure and happiness you have given to me ,your faraway friend, everyday over those three years through the very active fb team and this lively discussion forum. In the here and now, numerous outsanding achievements are underway that will definitly keep on giving me lots of great and thrilling times. After those pending achievements will be over, I do know there will be others and others and that, one day, the Jason's Fictionnal Day on the Railroad will be the everyday reality. I pray to God to live old enough to reach that day.
