John, I ran into George today at the bank, and mentioned that I would be dropping off a backdrop for you to use.

He is looking forward to you and the Expo visitors!!!
George has made many layout changes since the last Expo.

Tonight we are moving along on our journey around the F&SM.  The next stop is R. J. Scoots Coal Dealership.  George told me in our last phone conversation that this structure was named after one of his cats.

If you look back at the pictures that Tom posted of this area in 1986 you can see that there has been many changes over the years.

Oh - and when we get some new pictures of this area this spring there will be even more changes - guess where George planted his latest kit.

From this from front view of the area we can see Skinners Row - one of Georges sell out kits.

To the left of Skinner's Row we have The Gospel Mission Hall.
