Being a contributor to the forum for many years, after the recent loss of my wife to cancer and the loss of my daughter to Lou Gehrig’s disease, I sort of lost interest in about everything. As a result, I’ve been off the forum for few years, but I am back. I found this sweet lady who has become a permanent part of my life and has become very interested in my model train collecting and is helping me clean up and reorganize my layout and train room and has reenergized my energy to get going again. She also enjoys attending train meets. I am looking forward to getting reacquainted with all of my friends on the forum. Jim Lawson (O Gauge Jim)

Very sorry to hear about your loss, and worse a double whammy! I'm happy that you have found someone that will help you continue with your life, and as a bonus likes the model trains as well!
Welcome back, I suspect we'll see you at some train meet in the future.
