Fall 2017 Edition
Keeping Our Sights Raised High
Last edition, we applauded the practice of the Wegmans supermarkets of displaying operating trains hung up above the customers.
Members do the same thing, and with great precision and hard work! A great example is this issue's reference article on reliable wiring. Let us keep in mind the goal of keeping our sights high for a brighter future!
If you'd like to share your ideas, please let us know. We can always fine-tune your great articles!
