Allan, I know you work harder than most of us know. Your always there with suggestions for stories. You encourage us with improvements to our articles, and a compliment when we'er finished. Thank you for your service in Vietnam, thank you for calling when our dog Daisy was sick. Thank you for just being a nice guy. 

I'm sure Richard Melvin is proud to have you as Eitor-in-Chief. I know I'm proud to have you as a friend. Aloha my friend. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLAN!!!!!!!!

Don and Vicky

Please allow me to join the rest of the members in wishing you an enjoyable day on your birthday. I have never met you but I am aware that we have two things in common-we love model railroading and we served in the U.S. Army in Korea during the same time frame (Did you ever see, better yet hear that steam engine powered passenger train that went North every week day not far from Munsan and on towards the DMZ? It was a real trip to hear that engine whistle going thru the river valley as the darkness of the night sky faded and became lighter every morning.

Thank you all for your well-wishes!

 

I would take the time to answer each of the posts individually, but I just returned from an afternoon at Mercer Junction where I enjoyed the usual good fellowship and picked-up an MTH Alaska RR GP30 on preorder that had just arrived this week.  Just what I needed...another locomotive.  I think my roster now exceeds that of the real Alaska RR. 

 

Also had a fine lunch at one of my favorite restaurants:  the Iron Bridge Inn just outside of Mercer, PA.  Great food, great service, and a bloody Mary that just hit the spot.

 

I will, of course, have to kill Don for revealing my birthday, but in order to do that I'll have to travel to Maui.  I'll delay that trip long enough for him to get his new layout built and for him to submit several articles for the magazine.  All kidding aside, a trip back to my beloved Islands (lived there nearly 18 years of my long life) is definitely in my plans for some point the future.

 

Thanks again to all--to those I know and have met, and to those I hope to meet at some point in the future.  All are valued family members to my way of thinking.  God Bless!

Again, my sincere thanks to all for your kind comments.  I'm not sure I deserve such accolades, but I am very grateful.  You folks--all of you, and including those who may not agree with some of the things I write--truly are special, and it's especially gratifying to know that the magazine and this forum are contributing in some way to your enjoyment of this great hobby.

 You know I've got to say, online you wouldn't think you don't really get to know a person the same way as in person. But on this forum, the guy has patience, a good sense of humor, and sincere interest in the hobby that all shows through.

 So as best as I can, I'd like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to my friend Allan. Continued good health and all the best life can offer to you and yours. Joe

Thanks, everyone!  Those posts were definitely a wonderful birthday present!

 

I'm going to lock this thread now because I don't want it to continue taking up space among more important topics.  I'm really very grateful for all the comments, but I don't want my head to swell any more than it already has from reading this thread.

 

Happy railroading to you all!
