The members and friends are waiting in line to be served for our chicken dinner we will enjoy this evening. The line is still long and many are enjoying the food and time for me to get in line.

The pavillion makes for a nice place to hold a cookout and most of the people are finishing eating. Robbi is in charge of preparing our work day meals and the food to be served at our cookouts and does a great job of it.

With the meal over time to get ready for our club meeting which will be held in the pavillion tonight as Roger Harnish, Karl Losely and Dick Clark get everything ready. With the guests and some members gone the rest wait for the meeting to be called to order.

After the meeting Mark Ross showed off his propane burners under the bumper of his 65 Mercury. I don't even know what to think of this train with Rick showing and Kathy and Karl kissing and they haven't even left the station for the woods.

OK everythings back to normal and they are leaving for a nice evening train ride. Logan is heading out on to the mainline with Chapin, Oliver and Dave Yates with Bill D and Thomas Ridler on the last car.
