Today was a festive celebration of Bob Kutella's 70th birthday, held in his home away from home, the IRM Wood Shop. So we had a better-than-usual picnic lunch and engaged in our customary banter.
Most of these guys I know so well I can recognize the backs of their heads. Let's see, Max, Dave, Barb, Vic, Rich, John, Eric, Buzz....
And here Max and Roger are listening to Bob, with the food in the foreground. Barb probably deserves most of the credit for all of this.
I hope these pictures are making you hungry. If so, you can arrange now at this link to sign up for IRM's 60th Anniversary Banquet, which will be held in a much more elegant ambiance at Sun City, and provide better food. Jim Wrinn, the editor of Trains magazine, will be our guest speaker, and Bob Opal will be providing musical entertainment -- you can't beat that! Please sign up by November 1st, we'd appreciate it.
