Before I start, I would like to send condolences out to the family of Val Kahn. Val passed away peacfully on Friday night. Some of you may have known Val and those who didn't, you would wish you did. Val was a very close friend of my mothers and a close friend to Charlotte, myself & the kids. Val was a terrific person with a big heart, she was also a big fan of Jack & Christina. She will truly be missed. I also know now that Jack has another angel looking over him. Our sympathies go out Val's children Lucy, Karen and Ken and their families.
Trains, Trains, Trains
Well where to begin on this one. We got a call mid - week from our friends Allen Brady and his wife Lynne. Allen wanted to know if we would like to take Jack up to Kraft Foods (formerly Nabisco) on Sunday to see the train display. Lynne works at Kraft and every holiday season
they set up a huge train display. As most of you know Jack is a big Thomas the Tank Engine Fan. So this was right up his alley as you can see from the smile on his face.
The display is huge and runs about six trains simultaniously, it has all these buttons around the edges that allow it to be interactive. Press one button it lights a light, press another a whistle goes off, press another the RailRoad crossing gate comes down. It was totally awesome.
We can't thank Allen and Lynne enough for inviting us and bringing a smile to Jack's face. They are very special people. They got just as much joy out of seeing Jack play with the trains as we did.
