Mitch
Hey @M. Mitchell Marmel, Mickie Mantle mailed me TWO and they just arrived! Normally, I thumb through it and look at every photo, but then I get less joy turning the page every 28-31 days, so I'm going to try really hard to take this year one month at a time.
It's a shame that an O-Gauge version of that #70 isn't currently circling my layout in celebration. Hopefully A&MRR didn't miss the boat completely and we'll soon see her and her sister #71 in the catalog again.

Mitch and John, I got a kick out of railfanning the Arkansas and Missouri when my in-laws lived in Fort Smith back in the late '80s and early '90s! Looks like a great calendar!! 
John, How are you doing in Lansdale weather wise? Here in Butler, we have had only an inch of snow a day, but brutal temperatures and wind! I understand we will be getting a heat wave next week. Bring out the short sleeves and sun block! 
I hope to make it out to the open house in July!
