<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dick,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thank you for your kind words; they are very much
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yes, I will be hosting my annual open house of my model
railroad on Saturday, January 31, 2009, from 6 pm to 10 pm. All Society
members and their friends/guests are invited to attend. I will have
directions available at the Timonium Show, but need to verify with the vendor
that they will be able to hand them out. This should not be a
problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>For those not familiar with my layout, I model N&W's
Shenandoah Valley line, between Front Royal and Waynesboro, VA, circa
1956. One of my crew has an outdated web page with information regarding
my layout which can be viewed at:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am working on a new web site for the layout, but haven't
completed it as of now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We continue to make progress on several areas of the
layout; I have about 95% of Virginia Oak Tannery at Luray, VA completed.
Page Milling and Page Co-op have been built. Work progresses on the bridge
over Hawksbill Creek in Luray, which is the site of one of Link's photographs of
the kids in the water while a Y-Class passes over the bridge. Also,
another of the buildings for Merck at Stonewall is just about
completed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I will have more information available regarding the open
house early next week; if you are not attending Timonium, but would like to
visit the layout on the evening of the 31st, feel free to email me
at:</FONT></DIV>
