Long time no post....

Hi, campers. Sorry for the long delay in posting. A number of things got in the way, including daughter's return home for Spring break, work, NCAA Tournament, and misc other activities. Now, I'm back, and bad, and ready to post.

First thing to mention is the passing of Bill Briggs. Bill was member #74 of the Twin Cities Division and he passed away last week. Bill had a superb layout which will be featured in an upcoming Kalmbach video. Also, Bill was VERY active in local community activities including the Rotarians. He will be missed.

On the NMRA front, your election ballot should be mailed back to HQ by now. Although you have another month, what's the point in waiting? It will give them a little more time to count things and not degenerate into another Minnesota-style election. Oh, wait, they're in Tennessee, so it may not work that way.

The survey results are pretty much ready and should be posted in about two weeks. I'll post a link on the home page shortly informing the membership about that. Also, in case you missed it, we've posted the articles from the last 12 months of Scale Rails MMR articles on the website, too. You can find them at this link.

Also, you should know that we are updating the Library section of the site, too. As part of the cost reductions, we had to let one of the staffers go, and he was the one updating the site. As a result, the IPC has taken over this responsibility, and should unviel the section within the next 30 days. It will feature the same look-and-feel as the main site, as well as offer updated inventories and a cleaner navigation scheme through the section. Stay tuned for that.

OK, I need to go work on some other stuff, including teaching my son how to make a wash. Probably something which needs to go on the Beginner's pages, but is not there yet. Until next week, see you then.

Go Heels.
