MGRS holds its Spring Luncheon Meeting.

  Today was a very good meeting.  The buffet was excellent as well as the dessert corner!  It was a good price too ($8.95 I think). Lots of people attended. It was fun to see many of the members again.  It has seemed  like a long time since we were meeting every day at the Mall. Maine is a big State and people traveled from all over to attend.  Bill Goodrich and his wife Robin drove all the way up from Cape Cod area in Mass. and Tiny from NH.  It felt good to recognize so many friendly faces as we enjoyed eating and meeting together.  The highlights of the day came as Scott read a very inspiring message from Dick Rubin. Dick wrote on the "Impact" the Mall display had on MGRS and those who came to see it.   Next, Ralph Luby displayed an array of bridges, trestles and ideas which he has built for the club to use for this years display.  It was very impressive and will really help to create an even better display for this year.  Eric and his son showed us a 1:20.3 model of WW&F number 9 which Eric has hand crafted himself!  We certainly have a large group of talented individuals and a whole lot of good things to look forward to!  Many thanks to all those who participated.
