Since many of us are staying at the Hilton when we're in STL for the Gathering, and that Hilton offers free high speed internet, I wonder if we will have a chat on October 10? :huh: We could all chat with each other online! :lol:

A training I will go ... !

  • Interests:I like riding trains, in First Class, Sleeper, or Coach. (If just a short jaunt) I expect courteous service, equipment that works, arriving close to "on time", & clean windows. Is that too much to ask for?
