    I would love to go but driving a few thousand miles round trip is not something I want to do this summer. I do hope to get to one soon and meet many of you.

    Steve,

    Gotta tell you that meeting the folks on the website at last year's Frisco meet was the big highlight for me. I met Ethan Lawrence, Andre Ming, Bob McKeighan (who only lives a few miles from me and now is one of my operating crew), Dora & Patrick Furlong (Smokey Hill guys) and probably others that I will remember later.

    Looking forward to the meet. This year we need to shoot as many photos as we can of everyone so those not attending get a good look at us.

    I voted "maybe", but I'm gonna do all I can to get up that way. I normally have weekends off, and I'm sure I can swing a 3-day weekend. And besides, I miss me some KC barbecue:D:D

    It'll also give me a chance to run close to the ex-Frisco line out of Afton north to Ft. Scott...............plus, the opportunity to operate on a bonafide FRISCO layout is way too good to miss.

    I'll probably have to bring the missus along, but oh well.......she'll enjoy the trip.

    RICK! Hold the phone!!!

    This just in...

    I think we're going to change our plans and leave Friday morning and head up to KC. (I'm cancelling an 8 day Harley trip so I can have the available days for this.)

    IF there's still a slot on the Extra Board for one more in the Operation Session... can I have it????

    I am eagerly awaiting the posting of the registration form so that I can register.

    Mary and I moved our New England trip to October so that I can be at the convention. Thanks for not scheduling it the previous weekend, as that would have been a "no go" for me.

    Looks like a 3-day vacation for me (WOOHOO!), so I plan on heading north to KC. Not sure if the missus is gonna go, but if not, I foresee some hard-core railfanning.

    I haven't been to a Frisco gathering since we met in Eureka Springs, AR back in 1987. I look forward to another chance to meet up with all y'all (Texan for youse guys).

    Any more room on the extra board?

    Good deal "gla1975"!

    Say, that brings up the issue of trying to figure out whoever "Coonskin", "gla1975", "Sirfoldalot", etc are... maybe we could purchase some stick-on name tags and have TWO names thereon?

    Our "nickname" and our "real" name? I'm willing to purchase the stick-ons.

    Last year we had some nice name tags. I still have mine and it had real name. Though I'm not going I would sugest name tags with Real and site names for the convention for easier identifacation.

    Rick, Can't make in Sept, but maybe in like Dec. Hopefully before the O&W is gone.

    Rick -
    I'd voted "maybe" but the prospects are improving. Mentioned this to Michelle and she thinks we could combine this with a trip to see our friends in Overland Park.

    Any minimum age limit on kids attending? I think Ben would enjoy the shindig, but he may also be torn between that and playing with our friend's kids.

    Hoping to put down some of the NB/SB main lines through Olathe-in-Garage this weekend...

    Chris,

    Frisco Folks are pretty friendly, especially to younger model railroaders. I think Ben is just the right age (11?) to come to an event like this. I think he will enjoy the train ride too.

    Well the poll still comes out even, as I voted yes, and now have a family conflict and will not be able to attend.

    Re: Second Annual Frisco Convention attendance poll

    I could go for that suggestion.

    BTW, on Trainboard.com I go by the handle of Friscobob- I'm one of several Frisco fanatics there (Charlie Dix and Howard Biby being others as well). My Yahoo name is slsf1630, and I have a Frisco coonskin license plate on the front of my truck. Now if said truck were painted Mandarin orange & white.........but that would be pushing it a wee bit. :D :D
