In the view of an out-of-towner who lives in an adjacent state, holding the banquet on a Friday evening is a bit of a drawback because of the need to take time off from my Monday-Friday job for travel. I think I might consider attending a future banquet in ABQ to support the Friends and learn more about the railroad if it's on a Saturday evening.
