This thread is indicative of Mr. Campbell's good spirit and upbeat attitude.  

After scheduling to attend a two day ranching symposium in Amarillo, TX, I contacted Tom in hopes of us finding time for a visit of any length.  He offers that I should arrive a day early and have an extended get-together (and if you like, bring some trains!). 
Having known and talked with Tom for a few years, I like the fact that our conversations start with family and home life, recent travel, our health, and musical interests.  We certainly talk about model and real trains.  Texans share an understanding that it is not polite to converse on the subjects of religion or politics, but we have found there is no need for us to steer clear of such.
Since our first meeting several years ago, I have speculated that Tom's wife and extensive family have waited patiently for his time while he completed a brilliant railroad career, and that I was not going to take any of that time away from them.  Any amount of time on the phone or meetings in person are a treasured gift for me.  "Thank you" to my gracious host.

People of faith in the Creator share a promise of spending Eternity together in His presence.  Don't be surprise if Tom and I end up building a railroad that spans the Promised Land and which strongly resembles the AT&SF.  Who else is in?
Penned with a smile.
Sincerely,  

Very nice sentiments, Rob!  I'm set for the promise of Eternity, and if we build model railroads there, the AT&SF is fine by me.
