I shared this with Adam today. I am blessed to have been asked to give presentations to the residents at a nursing home close by. Last Saturday I set up a small train layout and did a presentation on the CNJ New York to Newark branch. I do a PowerPoint with old photos of everything that I can find on the line. It takes 3 to 4 weeks to put each presentation but it is so worth it. The one friend I made, Tony, worked and retired from PRR, he's a great guy. Also there was a young lady who told me that her husband spent $1,800 for a GG1. So I told her that she made him a happy man since she allowed him to buy it lol. The women outnumber the men at this nursing home and most of them tell me how their husbands loves Lionel trains. Being into O scale trains is a fun hobby but it became so much better for me to share it with others. I wanted to take a lot of pictures but once the show began I forgot to take pictures lol. I only have this one......................

Good for you, Joe. I'm sure the nursing home residents appreciated your work. I have to think of doing something similar for where I am at now for rehab.

People do not realize just how much something like this means to our nursing home residents. My mother in law always complained about being bored. Thank you Joe for taking the time and effort.
