Reply to "If You Have Something Nice To Say, Say It Here"

I would like to thank Joshua Lionel Cowen (utilizing the ideas of his European and American  hobby predecessors) for taking a store display idea and turning it into a well-loved pasttime that continues on into its second century. I would like to thank my parents (RIP) for gifting me my first Lionel set in 1955, and for not making it "disappear" while I was away at school. Finally, I would like to thank my wife for being supportive over the last 32 years.
