Finally, here are three pictures showing why railroadiana shows will never be replaced by the internet. The social connections and comaraderie of the hobby are as important (or more important) to many folks than the collectibles themselves. From left to right: Steve Korbus and his daughter; Chuck Dallos and his mom, complete with homemade apple pie; and Brian and Jill Maiher who were recently married and who were presented with a wedding cake at the show. We wish them all the best!
