Hi Tom, You and your son seem to have had a great time in Springfield. It was good for him to win the boxcar and I know he will never forget winning it. I am sure he will always have an interest in LS railroads: even if, as his life changes, he doesn't always have time for his own RR.
During WW2 I won six eggs in a raffle. Remember that food was very short in Britain and eggs were rationed - one or two per week per person - so my prize was valuable. I carried it home like gold. My Nanny (guardian) and I were very fortunate that week.
