My wife and spent New Year's eve viewing a train layout at Engine 45-Baltimore City Fire Department at 2700 Glen Avenue and Cross Country Blvd. in Mt Washington. Since Dave King told me about this layout, I have dedicated the show to him and his family. You will see it in the photoshow that you can click on above or on the photoshow page. Happy New Year everyone! Oh yes, and Barbara and I also saw the movie "Memories of a Geisha,"  after seeing the train layout....See what party animals we are!!!

Doug Rogers, a program manager for IRS who speciialized in Penalties and Interest will retire from the IRS January 3 after serving the government for 33 years. He had a retirement party at the Fountainbleu in New Carrollton on December 14. And, of course the reason I mention this is because I was asked to take photos at the retirement cerebration. His photoshow can be accessed by a link above and also on my photoshow page. Good Luck, Doug...I hear you may go over to dark side and side with taxpayers now!

The USO-BWI held its annual holiday reception at the Rose Restaurant at 6921 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd in Baltimore on December 7. It was a great party with lots of great door prizes and a 50-50 drawing. Luckily the weather held up and there was lots of fun for all. See the photoshow above by clicking on the click, or go to my photoshow page. I will also post photos of the event on my USO page.
