Yes, they were. And yes, I am so glad to be one of those friends who have had such a great time visiting you up there in Medford at that marvelous railroad park!! I had a large storage box full of various RR pubs including Flimsies from the early to mid-nineties out in the garage. I have this terrible feeling that I dumped them in a garage purge a couple of years ago and am afraid to go out and look. But I do know that I had a couple of articles published in Flimsies, most notably my "take" on my first Winterail, maybe back in '96??? and the last stockholder's meeting of the SP in SF in August of '96. and Jack Wyrick's last run on the Permanente local in '96.
Was a fun publication and of course, I'd see Tony and Bill and etc. at their booth at Winterail right next to Rob Carlson's AP booth.
Those were the years------------
