Reply to "The Madison Hardware Story Book Signing at The National Toy Train Museum"

Derek did a really great job on this truly, labor of love in which he spent many hours chronicling the "World's Oldest Lionel Service Station" and the two brothers with the different last names! I was invited to write a chapter for the book [Chapter 9] relating my numerous experiences at 105 E 23rd St., in New York and was honored to do so. If you haven't gotten a copy yet, you should - this is Lionel history as Lou and Carl were extremely close to Lionel founder Joshua Cowen, and the numerous contributors to Derek's book all have wonderfully interesting stories to tell. If you've never been to Madison, or you were a regular at the store, you will undoubtedly find this book amusing, informative, fascinating, at times rollickingly funny and yet at times so sad, but always entertaining!

Best wishes to all,

Len Carparelli
