Maine Veterans' Home Visit

After a few morning rain showers, it cleared up beautifully just in time for Carl and Pat Churchill to host a repeat visit of guests and staff from the Maine Veterans’ Home of Scarborough, Maine.

Some of the guests were experiencing their first visit to the Garden Railway and were delighted with the venue and of course the trains. Nine MGRS members were present and participated not only in operating the Railway but also assisting the guests getting around.

A special guest was Nancy Norris, Horticultural Editor of Garden Railways magazine.

Nancy jumped right in and helped set up the trains and entertain and inform the guests from the Veterans Home.

Carl, Mac McLaughlin, and Scott Gould provided tours of the wooded expanse behind Carl’s house.

Dick Cosgrove and Art Handman commiserated with the veterans about their military days. After a picnic lunch under the tent, the group bid us farewell and looked forward to a return visit.
