Happy Veterans Day!

  A very happy Veterans Day to all especially our friends in the Maine Veterans Home in Scarborough, Me.  We received a very nice card from Jeannine Lessard  who thanked us so much in behalf of the veterans that come to visit us at Carls.  She said how much they enjoy the outings, the trains, flowers, the wooded trail rides.  It is a great enjoyment to them.  Thank you MGRS members for what  you do.

 Several members, I believe Carl. Dennis, and Paul, Mac and Walter and perhaps others have been to visit recently, solve problems with their train transformers (I think we bought them a new transformer) and helped with the layout.  Again, they are very appreciative.

  Also, another pretty neat gift which Carl made on behalf of the Club was his 4 foot long model of a World War II fighter plane.  It may have been a P51 Mustang.  In any event it is proudly hung from a wire and being displayed in an area where many will enjoy it.  A nice looking model and as Jeannine told us in her card, it is appreciated by the veterans.

But, all the thanks should come from us as we appreciate what they have done.  Happy Veterans Day and Thank You!
