Bruce,
Any news about John’s condition?
No, sorry, I haven’t heard any more.
I just got a call from John. He’s out of the hospital and doing well. He said that he can’t travel home until the 14th, so we will consider a visit here.
WOW…I thought y’all meant it was after he got home!
Great news, Bruce!
I hope you guys can get together and run some trains before John can travel home. I do expect lots of pics.
Enjoy your visit.
Well, it’s not every body that breaks his neck to visit my layout…

Here’s John, wife Connie, and daughter Christie visiting. It was only 35, and I was nursing a cold, but we did get to visit a bit. But not much train running. 
Anyway, it was great meeting the family and it’s always interesting to talk trains!
