News & Timetables and 2013 Calendar
« on: November 01, 2012, 12:06:44 pm »
Received N&T and 2013 Calendar on Halloween, a treat better than a bushel of M&M's.. ;D
N&T is a great recap of the Convention, in both photographs and written word. I especially like the centerfold photo of Bill Lesburg making final inspection of "LYNNE" before the excursion; all business, not able to relax just yet. Thanks to Bill, Pete, and everyone involved in restoring "LYNNE".
All photos featured in 2013 calendar are by Dave Ritenour, one of the best friends MRHTS has ever had. Photo captions are by Ron Marquardt, former Monon engineer, and add an insight only a railroader possesses.
Thanks to Cecil Smith, and everyone involved in putting together these fine publications.

I will agree with everything Joe said. No N&T yet in South Bend, but I know it is coming.

N&T and the 2013 calendar arrived in Columbia, Missouri yesterday. Great pictures and great stories, as always!

You are not alone, Tom.   Nothing has come to Fairington Ct either. Oh well, that's the way it goes.

Once again that corridor between Salem and South Bend that includes Lafayette has swallowed our mailings. I am therefore officially giving it the designation as the Indiana Triangle...The THLs just seem to disappear for weeks on end.

Tom & Sharon

I know you will enjoy it when it arrives. Kudos to all who put it together. Also, a fitting tribute to Dave Ritenour.

Each night before I go to bed I look at the pic of Bill and the Lynne and dream of the good old days of the car at French Lick -----and other hot spots on the MONON

Joe, I've never seen a bushel of M&M's

Hey Tom..................the pack mule limped through Fairington today and dropped off my envelope.   You will love it.   I have always been a fan of Ritenour's photography and the calendar is fabulous.

Same mule train also found South Bend today. Very nic issue and calendar, but the most important thing is that Monon Stores Catalog. Shop early.

P.S. I just now noticed that we used the wrong ornament photo. Ooops, the person who made that error has been whipped with a wet noodle.

I got my copy in California on Thursday this week. It is a very nice issue with great photos. Kudos to Cecil and the photographers who contributed the images used!
