[PRCo] November Gathering Photos- Part 1

Fri Nov 23 15:19:58 EST 2007

 Ok , here they are. This will be lengthy and some of the photos are things many of you have seen before so you should be able to tell from my description which will follow. I'm separating this into 3 e-mails. The first(this one) will be our initial day at the museum. The second will be of the day 2 field trip. The third will be of the exploring I did on my own. I have no photos of the day 1 field trip as we were on a bus and we did not have anywhere to stop so I was unable to take photos. 
  Now I want to explain something ahead of time about our initial gathering at PTM. As we were getting the cars out of the barn I noticed a gentleman hanging around taking photos. I initially thought he was with Derrick as he was standing next to him when I first saw him. He was on a trip east to see Strasburg, etc. when he picked up a PTM flyer. On his way back home to Illinois, he decided to check out PTM. Well, the museum is closed on Thursday so his bad luck. But just as quickly his luck changed as we were having our get together this day. Ed invited him along. He paid his fees along with the rest of us and he even got to operate the cars. I don't remember his last name but his first name was Kevin. After a wonderful day, he decided to become a member of PTM. Ed told me that it pays to be nice to people and this was certainly the case here. Kevin is a member of IRM and is now a member of PTM. Fantastic! Kevin did not accompany us on our field trips but I'm sure he was estatic about what happened and how he was treated and hopefully spreads the word about PTM. Now onto the photos. 32 of them in this lengthy part 1. I hope this doesn't overload the server. lol
