Wally and friends,
I think you might be off by a decade or so. In the fifth or sixth
grade, I was able to buy my first subscription to Model Trains magazine
($2.50 per year I think). The first issue describes the recent activity
in S and mentions a new organization called the NASG and the original
Herald in memo form.
I joined and became a member of AF#6 (whatever that means). Claude
wrote many of the early letters and sent along a bunch of mimeographed
forms that were so bad they were illegible, as Wally says. Ah those
were the days.
