I am very impressed with your talent in making things look very real. You are truly a teacher at heart. 

Hope you are feeling ok, miss you at York.

Absolutely delightful to hear from you, David. I always read your postings and enjoy getting your perspectives on matters. You were always good company, too.

Thank You for these very kind words. Teaching has been one of the great privileges of my life. Nowadays, I continue to volunteer at our parochial elementary school to help children who need a little boost and extra support.

I miss York, too, but I have accepted that there are different things for different times in life, so I am gone from York, permanently, but enjoy the new shape my life has taken.

My health is on the mend, as I continue to recover. Thank you,. very much, for your good wishes in that regard.

Be well, safe, and happy.

Patrick and his Free State Junction Railway have offered us a stunning lesson here.  Observe the selected pictures and note that its not what you see; its what you don't see:  trains.

Frank Moon frequently offers us the same opportunity.
