As you all know, at the OGR meeting at York the big news was that Rich Melvin will be retiring as the OGR Publisher. Soon to assume the top post as Publisher is our good friend Alan Arnold. As I looked around the hall, I recognized an old friend, none other than Myron Biggar. Myron and his family ran the magazine for several years until the current owners took over. I go way back with Myron as he first put my layout in run 120 back in 1991. This was followed by OGR the video that was shot by a new person I had the honor to meet. That new person was Rich Melvin. Myron gave a good presentation and stated at his booth he had some remnants from the old OGR days at his booth for sale. One item he mentioned was the OGR logo on the rear spare tire cover. That cover garnished the rear of two OGR vans. Somewhere I have a photo of that cover with my vehicle parked next to it. After leaving the meeting, I went to the Biggar table in the Orange hall and promptly purchased the spare tire cover from Barbara (Biggar) Saslo.
I wanted to get all OGR owners past and present to sign it. It will hang in my train room next to the Train America sign that Mike Reagan gave me in Ohio some years ago. The first photo I am putting up is of Alan Arnold and Myron Biggar. The past and future of OGR.

Great people, great fun.
I will post a photo in a few days of this hanging in my train room. This spare tire cover was always seen on the Fairgrounds near the end of the yellow hall.
