Subject: Re: York group - say hello to my cousin Carmen if you get the chance... Hi, Paul. Carmen is only scheduled to be with Bruce on Friday afternoon, but if we go earlier than we are now planning she will probably be there at other times as well. The book we are working on will be the most comprehensive collection of detailed information ever put together on Lionel standard gauge. We have just finished reviewing chapter 5, covering the 5, 6, and 7 early steam locomotives, and before the additions and corrections we have suggested are completed the chaper is 43 pages long. His 1988 book covered the same locos in 5 pages. We are hoping that Bruce will decide to do similar books on O gauge as well. You guys who are heading to York at the end of October, Don & Carmen Conard are my cousins living near Arlington Virginia. They are active in TCA and have been working with Bruce Greenberg on his new book on Lionel Std. gauge trains. Currently 400+ pages and still growing. Carmen will be working in Bruce's booth at the TCA York meet in about 3 weeks. If some of our TTAT or Bethany Choo-Choo guys get the chance, drop by the Greenberg booth and tell Carmen hello for me - she's my second cousin once removed on my mother's side (Long) of the family tree. She and Don have done a lot of research on my Long/Lang family in Pennsylvania over the last several years.
