Reply to "Latest 'The Train Collectors Quarterly'"

Unlike yourself, I am not retired and have limited time to devote to my various outside interests. The reason I posted this time is because of a note I received from Mark Boyd, and I felt people would be interested in the "back story" of this layout. BTW, my name is clearly posted, so I am not "Dr. Whomever"! It is not a matter of feeling superior, it is a matter of sharing knowledge that was acquired through hard work and research. I am not ashamed of this knowledge! As for feeling superior, let me include a quote from Teddy Roosevelt that expresses it very well:

 

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

 

In other words, Happy Pappy, the guy that is willing "TO HAVE SOME SKIN IN THE GAME"!! I, along with a number of my associates and employees, are those guys and to quote from Dylan Thomas: "We do not go gently into that good night"!
