With Father's Day approaching, I thought it might be a nice gesture for us to offer a few memories of our Dads. Not necessarily train or modeling memories, but a reflection of fun times.
My Dad got me into this hobby(bought me my first trains for Christmas in 1959), was supportive of my athletic career, and would take time from work every Friday to watch my home football games.
Taught me how to play baseball, played catch whenever I grabbed a glove, even coached me in Little league and Pony League. I don't think he ever missed a home baseball game while I was in High school. I threw a split finger fastball BEFORE anyone had a name for it!!!
Got me into racing go karts and cars. I think that was him living vicariously through me.
When he passed away in July of 1999, I inherited most of his trains. More than tripled my inventory!!!
Still love ya, Dad....... You'd love the layout.
