Anyone in the area up for a Big 'A' get-together? I'm sure I'll have a day or two free if anyone is interested. PM me here or contact me at

:-) :-) :-) :-) Just so happens I'm off on the 23 and 24, so no problem heading up to meet you. The 24 would be the best for me. PM me and we can work out a time to meet at the Museum.

Dave-SWMBO :-)8 has been informed & grudgingly consented to do without me for a day
The Museum opens @1030 and closes@1615. Open on the 24th, closed 25th. If you've never been before, the above link contains directions & maps from all the cardinal points. Does meeting at the museum around opening time sound good? I'm not sure how far you are from USMA, so if later is better just let me know.
Also, if my failing memory serves, (and the area hasn't been 'revitalized') there's a miniatures/wargamer's shop just outside the gate in Highland Falls. Bring cash, as John (PvtParts)has warned us all about your proclivity for dragging fellow modelers miles uphill through the snow in search of an ATM-& I have a bum leg.
I'll PM this all to you as well...

Matt- do you mean NORTHwest? 3-4 hrs. SOUTHwest would put you in Pennsylvania...
So- hunting Bambi's or visiting w/ Grumpy n me?
What'll it be?

Anyone else? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller....?

Haven't been to West Point in nearly 20 years.... :-) :-) :-)
Actually in the days of hair and teeth, one of the former females in my life..... which number I forget.... her brother in law was one of the trainers for their hockey team...... but that's way back in the 70's.
I live about 90 minutes away. Maybe I can shanghi Pvt Parts to come along, but can't promise.... he's self employed and well, in my self employed days, I never took off when there was work.... and I sure he's the same. (when there was no work.... I was always off.... :-) :-) :-) )
Opening time is fine with me.
