Steam & Excursion > AFT's 40th, Family Fotos- FIN

continued...

These are from the closing banquet.

Photo 32.  A group shot of those involved with running the 4449 in AFT service (1975-76).  In front L2R: Al Phillips and Mike Mangini.  Standing L2R:  Sam Cooke, Judy Booth, Doyle McCormack, Craig Thomas, Bob Slover, Rich Croll, and Steve Milward.
Photo 33.  A quick good bye from Ross, who had an early flight in the AM.
Photo 34.  Laurie McCormack running around getting in touch with her inner Vanna.  All sorts of AFT fodder was auctioned.  The raised $3500 (!!!) will be used as seed money for the 2018 reunion in Chattanooga.
Photo 35.  Judy Booth gets the mike to present Laurie & Doyle with (WELL EARNED!) gift funds to vanish for a few days to a land without phones.   Thank you Mean Laurie & DLM- we had a great week end!

Oh boy...so you're saying that 4449 is coming to Chattanooga in 2018!?!  OH BOY!!! (I guess not, but it wouldn't be the first time!)

Didn't work. I was on the phone with Laurie today for over a half hour while she was on her computer!

Oh heavens, no!
The AFT Staff will meet next in Chattanooga (We get together every 2yrs- always have) in 2018.  Sadly, we don't get to bring the '49 with us.
