I remember my 1st York......I was a 29 yo kid in this vast land land of trains....shock and awe!!!!

I was hooked and I am lucky to have missed only twice since then.

The Yellow Hall under the GrandStand.....wall to wall people. There was a concession stand in the Yellow Hall that used to sell these huge yellowcake donuts with this chocolate frosting. They were a highlight for my son and I when he started attending with me in 99, when he was 7.

Seeing Lou Redman in his suit was always a treat.

Lots of other memories and good feeling are flowing through my head.......I still remember the last year of the Yellow Hall (2004, I guess) when it was 98 degrees in April.....how hot it was! My son and I were staying in Gettysburg (another fun part of the trip). We went to Walmart and bought shorts.

I do sadly think of all those who used to be there and are now longer with us. Thank you for the memories.

Then I started taking pictures (not in the Halls, of course! )

Loads more, later

Peter
