Sam was a true gentleman and a great friend. He passed away several years ago. He had a huge Lionel collection. We traveled on Amtrak together several times just so we could ride the train. We did not go anyplace particular, just rode the train. I remember one trip in particular. He used the "All Aboard America Fare" to travel from Brookhaven, MS to Laurel, Ms(about 50 miles). We left Laurel and traveled through Atlanta, Washington, new York, Chicago and back the Brookhaven. Two weeks later we made the return trip. My ticket was $125.00!
