Here's another delightful man who inspired me, and is no longer with us, that I never even met: Bruce Manson from Pennsylvania.
I'm sure many of you folks knew Bruce Manson through the TCA and possibly this Forum, with his AF trains and layout. I only knew him through the McComas and Tuoy Pennsylvania Suite video. I especially liked the "Red Light District" on his layout, the way he described it, and all of his charming and witty remarks about his trains and other collectible toys on that video. Arnold
