Talk in Canfield, OH and One Coming at The Lodge at Geneva on the Lakes

Hi Folks:

On Oct. 28th, 2013 I was invited by Edward "Bruce" Burns to speak to a group of 70 people at the A LA CART CATERING Restaurant in Canfield, Ohio about the Ashtabula train disaster. We had a wonderful evening with great food and even received another donation to the film from Bruce and Alma Burns.

For the first time our model train and model bridge, which will be used in the film, were in the same room together. Everyone enjoyed seeing them including the artifacts and photos that my friend, collector and historian Fritz Kuenzel, allowed me to borrow for the evening.

Another very special thanks must go out to another close friend, and the man I call my "Williamsfield Dad," Gary Tabor, who transported the bridge from North Bloomfield, OH to Canfield in the back of his truck.

On Oct. 31st, 2013 from from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM. I will be giving another talk at The Lodge at Geneva on the Lake in Ashtabula County as part of the Discoverpaths Lifelong Learners speaking series. The program is entitled "Really Horrible Disasters." featured speakers will include Carl Feather (Star Beacon), Barbara Hamilton (Jefferson Historical Society) and myself. The cost to attend is $10.00 but will also include a trip to the disaster site.

Hope to see you there!
