I made it to York for my first time as a guest registration of the TCA and came on the Upstate TCA Chapter Bus Trip for Thursday and Friday, yeah, I know, I was one of those many on scooters there, I tried to be respectful and let walkers get through at all times. I was very impressed to say the least and got to meet a lot of wonderful people, both on the bus and at the show. My wife came with me and enjoyed the show too. thank you all for being wonderful ambassadors of the hobby. I know the scooters can be a pain but for us that can't walk far it's the only way we can enjoy the show and being patient with us. the show is one thing that was on my bucket list and after my life threatening disease where I was hospitalized for a month in February 2016, lost and revived twice, and 7 surgeries, I'm lucky to be alive, my layout was in the end of our living room but it had to come down for me to have a hospital bed and rehab equipment at home. it's gone now but I haven't gotten anything up yet. Plan to get a pair of sawhorses, 2x4's, and a sheet of plywood up just to have something to run again for now. maybe next year I'll be able to start again on a layout a little at a time since I have plenty of time now I'm disabled. I love this hobby and can't wait to start running trains again. It will be good to keep me occupied. We also hope to get back to York again soon to see more of you. Take care, have fun with the trains, and may God Bless You All!
