FOCTS members Farol Henkle, Larry&Nancy Gibson, are manning the Friends booth at the Huckleberry RR today. Photos will be added throughout the day. Among the materials sent by Tim were issues of the Dispatch. Using our family experience to promote the railroad will be helpful. A great day in the making!!

While in that one photo where Larry is wearing his 463 shirt & cap, I am wearing my Roundhouse bib overalls that were purchased right in Chama (forgot the name of that gift shop, but Kim Casford knew it.) Also, Larry, the gentleman standing next to your son, was the man that wanted to talk to you about Roger Hogan, regarding seeing his drone videos. Otherwise, we both had a great time and many thanks again to Tim Tennant for shipping all the promo items! Yea Tim! "High Five" once again!!!!!

In summary Nancy and I had a great time joining Farol to represent our RR to train enthusiasts and the general public. The younger folks were interested in learning about the yard cams being available and several families expressed the interest to journey west to ride. Thanks to Tim and the office for sending the materials for distribution.
