This is a very humbling day for me as today marks the first day as the new Publisher of O Gauge Railroading Magazine! I have spent considerable time trying to decide what to say today so after consulting colleagues and friends here on the OGR Forum, I found most suggested that I share my beginnings in the hobby as well as details of my background. So...I decided to do this in my first Publisher's Column which will appear in run 297, the February/March issue.
As I stated at the Grandstand meeting at this past York, your OGR magazine and forum will continue as....THE number one place to be in the O gauge hobby! Your magazine will be filled with great layouts, how-to articles, reviews, announcements, and the columns that are your favorites. Along with what you have come to expect, we will introduce some new and exciting offerings....some long awaited and suggested by our readers and forum members. Stay tuned....!!
It is because of everyone one of you that support our magazine in your own unique way that has made OGR what it is today.... I am honored to be here and I want to extend my sincere appreciation to each of you! I look forward to being your Publisher!
All The Best....
Alan
