FYI, Railview Trains re-opened this week. Dave's family is now running it. I've already been in (and drive by it almost every day as I go to work) and it seems busier than ever. Rob
Thanks, Chris. All I knew was that Dave did not recover from some surgery, so I appreciate your note. I'm like you, I still can't comprehend this. Sometimes I'd visit him 1-2 times a week. Then I go home and look at my layout and see all of the things that he suggested, and I remember all of the cleaning, modelling and scenery techniques that he taught me -- his "influence" is seen throughout my layout.
Yes, I'll look for your booth at the Toronto show. I'm going to try to go on the Saturday.
