Hi Dick-- I will mention this fact to the EBMES//GSMRM co-Webmaster "Walt Freedman" and see if they can find anything at all on that trip..
Oakland's old "Leamington Hotel" served as NMRA Convention Headquarters... Did YOU stay there per chance ??
Also, would very much like to know, Dick, if you took in any of the convention "layout tours",
particularly the trip the delegates took out to East Oakland, via Grey Line buses, to see my Grandpa's "Live Steam Railroad empire" in his basement ?? Let me know, Sir !!
