I'm surprised. The info is on the NASG website, however. Being a long-time personal friend and fellow 1965 graduate of Ohio University. I?received phone calls last evening and this morning from COSG members and Alan's wife, Pat also. He had been suffering for two years or so from dementia and stroke related symptoms?and passed away?yesterday (1/22) evening. Pat says a memorial service will be down the road in a month or two. As many of you know, after the?1965 graduation we lost touch until Alan discovered some of my articles in Model Railroader. Before that I didn't know he was a model railroader too. Then we met at the 1990 NMRA/NASG convention (I was there for Kalmbach where I was working then). We talked trains and enjoyed the large NASG modular layout. Then we got together again in the fall at the 25th anniversary of our OU graduation. After several more meetings at Fests and Sprees, he and Chuck Porter coaxed me into liking S. I still had tons of unopenedHO boxes in my Wisconsin basement that I moved from WV in 1988. In 1993 with Alan as NASG president, I was coerced into the Dispatch editorship. Since then we have met at most NASG conventions plus many Fests and Sprees. For an early bio of Alan you can check out "Meet an S Gauger" in the June 1996 Dispatch.? It's sad to lose an old friend.? ?Jeff Madden
