Dear All:

The below
calendar is short on upcoming events, please remember to send me dates/flyers
to include.

If you have not yet seen the TCA National Headquarters email of August 4,
I encourage you to take a look at it, Carol McGinnis did a very nice write-up
of the WB&A’s recent involvement with the Fire Up 611 project.  See
http://tcaetrain.org/ 

Remember, to also post to your social media the link to the NTTM and
encourage your friends and family to visit it while in the area and to seek
them out as a place to hold an event! 
The effort to do so is minimal, but the return can be great!

It is not too late to plan on attending Lynchburg Rail Day 2015 taking place tomorrow
(August 8).  It’s promising to be an exciting
and fun-filled train event and many of our friends will be there, they hope you
will be too!  www.blueridgenrhs.org
(see attached flyers) and give them a hand, post the information to your social
media to get the word out.

PASSING
OF SHIRLEY REILLY - WB&A #2004

Many of you know Brian Reilly (aka Boxcar) from his years of volunteering
for the Club on all levels.  What I’ve
come to know Brian best for was his commitment and love of his wife
Shirley.  I have found that in getting to
know so many wonderful folks in this hobby that what I take from it is not only
the love you share with me of the hobby, but also the love of your family.  Brian in my mind is one that shared both of
his loves with me over the years.  It’s
with a heavy heart that I share with you the passing of Shirley Reilly http://www.fredericksburg.com/obituaries/shirley-a-reilly/article_b5e2d607-d04f-5cdc-9c41-c847ad7eecf3.html
on Friday, July 31.  I know, however,
that when Brian is out and about amongst his family of the train world, that he
will not be alone for there will be an angel watching over him.  

Also, our
friends at the National Capital Trackers are mourning the passing of Tony
Duncanson who was a friend of many of our WB&A members.

FOR A NEW HOME
