Bramson lectures at Martin Co library 8-24-2013

FECRS members cabooseMikey, Jerry Groothouse and Richard Benjamin visited the Martin County Library System on August 24, 2013 to listen to two lectures by Seth Bramson, FEC Railway historian. There were three display cases full of railroad memorabilia and artifacts for the guests to see and lively question/answer sessions, too.
It was great to see Frank Connell among the 53 attendees at the Stuart lecture and Brian and Miss Kelta Sherman among the 24 attendees at the Hobe Sound lecture.
All enjoyed the day that was over much too quickly.
Best regards, cabooseMikey.
