This was an experiment, holding the Awards Ceremony on Friday night before the meet, and it seemed to work well. We had a much larger attendance of members than when we gave out awards at the Saturday night banquet, and that was the idea (to have more member attendance at club-sponsored events. After the open house at the Vegazo’s, Ilene Vegazo told me they had very little leftovers - two shrimp, three grapes, and a meatball - so I ate them.

Photo Right: Southern Division President Charlie Anyan is hard at work planning future events for the Southern Division. Lionel Descendant Joins TCA, By Charles Anyan, President, Southern Division TCA We in the Southern Division of the TCA had an interesting event at our Open House the night before our Orlando Area Meet in November. A surprise guest showed up. She was Amy Saypol Tompkins, the great-granddaughter of Joshua Lionel Cowen, the founder of Lionel Trains. J. Lionel’s Granddaughter married Ron Saypol some years ago. Mr. Saypol was an executive at the Lionel Corporation, and in 1968, became president of Lionel. They had two daughters; Cathy and Amy. After many years away from the toy train environment, Amy and Cathy became enthused again about Lionel trains and other Lionel products, especially after a trip to the York, PA Eastern Division TCA meet. The trip was arranged by Bob Mintz, editor of the on-line site e*trains, and a new member of the Southern Division (see www.tcaetrain.org). They were both invited by Bob to attend our Orlando meet and Open House, and Amy showed up at both of them. Cathy wanted to attend, but she lives out-of-state and couldn’t make it. Only a few of us knew Amy would be at the Open House on Friday, and the members were totally surprised when she showed up. Many had their pictures taken with her. At the Open House, tremendously hosted by Ilene and Clark Vegazo, we had an informal Southern Division member’s meeting, in which awards were presented for various members for outstanding work during the previous year. In opening remarks I introduced Amy, and she made a short speech in which she expressed her happiness at being there. Amy Later told a few stories about her memories of life as a child visiting the J. Lionel home. I’m sure she has many more. At the Train Meet the next day Amy filled out the paperwork to join TCA and the Southern Division. I was privileged to be one of her sponsors. Bob Mintz captured the historic moment in the accompanying photo. We believe that this is the first time any member of the J. Lionel Cowen family has ever joined the TCA. At the same time, Amy’s son Jimmy also joined us. Bob Mintz was co-sponsor for both of them. Cathy Saypol is also expected to join. We are happy that Amy and Jimmy are TCA members and proud that they are members of the Southern Division.
