Actually I'm off for 11 days starting 11/16(the weekend before 
Thanksgiving)up through Monday 11/26. So the weekend before would 
work for me also. Also one of my brothers is coming down here for 
Thanksgiving so I'm still in limbo with plans. But I like the idea.

His suggestion (and I'm going to let him take all the credit for it)  
is that we have a list get together or a list convention ... doesn't  
matter what we call it.

I agreed whole heartedly because we have evolved into a group of  
friends and acquaintances and not simply a list of Pittsburgh  
Railways types.

My suggestion for a location was Pittsburgh or more likely PTM (the  
museum) and my first suggestion to Herb for a date was Thanksgiving  
weekend because Mark McGuire was (I think) already coming up from  
Jacksonville and I know I'm coming from Lancaster to work all 
weekend  
as an operator on Santa Trolley.

RUN WITH IT GUYS.....
