OK, men since most of the members are introducing themselves I guess I had better do the same so you'll know a little more about me if and when I e-mail the group OK.

?

My full name is John R.Gibson but all my friends and my radio handle is "Hoot" or Hoot Gibson so any of you that are young enough will put the connection of "Hoot" with Gibson and know that you would to be at least 60 years old or older to get the connection or unless you are a Western Country fan.? I was born and raised in Lamanda Park (East Pasadena) California. starting in 1932 so you can read that I'm 36X2 years young.

?

I model the 2nd District of the Los Angeles Division or the area from San Bernardino to Los Angels in HO scale here in our two car garage which will never see the likes of a car so the garage is all mine.

?

I will be in the background reading and gathering information and from time to time I will be sending e-mail's but for now I will stay quite OK.?

?

I do want to say thank you Bob for starting this group which is long overdue but I have always been surprised that Jim Lancaster did not start such a group long ago but it would seem the you are the chosen person so thank you again for your interest in the Citrus Industries and the railroads that served these industries.
