Toy Trains Mailing List (TTML) Breakfast At York October 2006

Members of the Toy Trains Mailing List (TTML) met for their traditional breakfast in the York fairgrounds restaurant on Friday morning, October 20, 2006. Spirits were running high as TTML members renewed acquaintances and discussed Thursday's TCA Eastern Division meet opening session the previous day. With a full day of "Yokin'" ahead, many opted for a full breakfast. Made to order omelets were popular with many in the group. TCA Eastern Division president Clem Clement took a break from his busy schedule to stop by and give the TTMLers an update on happenings at the meet. Clem had lots of good information to share with the group, however, he refused to divulge the location of the $50.00 Blue Comet sets.

 

 

One of the highlights of the breakfast was a presentation of a framed "Friend Of The TTML" certificate to Clem by Paul Olekson, TTML moderator.
