Friends,

 

I will keep this brief which is hard to do for a lawyer.

 

Firstly, I would like to thank the good folks at OGR for this forum, and with the many new forum sponsors, thanks to Alan Arnold, it appears the forum is in good shape to continue long into the future.

 

I am also thankful for the many friends I have made on this forum over the years and then gotten to meet in person. I would like to mention each of you by name, but quite honestly, there are so many of you that I have had the privilege to meet, I know I will leave someone out and I do not want to offend anyone. So I would just like to state that I am thankful for all of my train friends. I have learned a lot from many of you through the years.  I consider "black Friday" my anniversary date in the hobby since that is the day in 2001 that My uncle Vic gave me back the Lionel trains he had as a kid and that I got to use in the 1970s. 

 

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

Erol...while we have never met in person, I am sure that we will sometime in the future and I am looking forward to it!  I appreciate your mention above and am humbled by your comment...but...I do want to say that without the membership AND forum sponsors, we would have a lot less to enjoy about our hobby.  I like you am so thankful that I discovered this place and have met so many friends here.  To me, the most enjoyable part of the hobby are the folks I have met and without a doubt, this is THE place to be!  Thanks goes out to each and every one!

I have only met 2 forum members for sure but have probably spoken to many others without realizing it at the Syracuse train show and my wife and I were guests one time at Cesar's house and got to see his wonderful layout and he was such a wonderful host that evening. I got back into the hobby in 2008 and working on my third layout change presently. I wouldn't know a 1/100 of what I know now without the support from all you wonderful forum members. Happy Thanksgiving to all & Thanks for all the help throughout these years. God Bless You All!
