[PRCo] Re: Quietly - a West Penn Meet

Dennis:

I don't know of any trolley sound chips.  A question for Ed Skuchas if he is
listening in.

A few years back when the "West Penn Meet" was mentioned I offered to wade
in, I think with Cuzin Brucie.  But nothing came of it because the facility
was not ready yet.  I believe he was talking about a building at the fair
grounds.  The next time around it was already booked when he checked.  

The issue from this, the wrong end of the Commonwealth, is too many
activities.  In the spring of even-years we, East Penn, have a mini-meet,
then the folks from NYC have a rapid transit themed affair in New Brunswick,
and the Boston Meet happens in the spring of even years.  We try to work
with those groups to avoid conflicts.  I'm sure we can work yinz into that
mix. Maybe shoot for the fall timeframe - hey, how about around September 10
when the truck show in running?  I also think you need to consider the
timing of the Indianapolis gathering if they are still active.

You see Fred, not much arm twisting required, but I thought I'm supposed to
have less time since retirement.  If this keeps up I will.

Dennis - yes, I there is interest in doing a West Penn meet.  I know I'd be 
willing to assist and I can try to get the rest of the Detroit United Group 
involved.
