Seven years ago we held the second annual Model Train Forum Dinner with Lee Willis as presenter. Brian was the Master of Ceremonies and made the introduction of Lee and then presented him with a Speaker's gift at the end. I'm glad we caught this on video. Brian begins at about the 30 second mark and then appears at the end of the video. I was at the dinner at Alexander’s in April 2016. We sometimes spoke on the phone or emailed about OGF or personal matters, but April 2016 York was the only time I met Brian (and Elizabeth) in person.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Brian in person but I feel I've lost a great friend.He nominated me for member of the week not long after I joined this forum. I got covid about this time two years ago and concern Brian showed was deeply appreciated.Rest easy sir.

I was there and it was a great time. Seeing Brian again brings back some great memories. I saw my brother there also who passed away Christmas of 2017, god I really miss him!

The last project Brian did, CIC 2, Christmas in the City diorama display that I followed as well as many. I'm glad he was able to finish this.

We must have talked a couple dozen times just about that project. It's felt like he was building it for Elizabeth. Once it was complete, I think we was ready for whatever was next. He was at peace.

I was thinking the same thing, he was building it for Elizabeth and she was there guiding him. I felt that now and felt it then.
