Mark Ray The purpose of the Association of Tourist Railroads and Railway Museums is to lead in the advancement of railway Challenges… heritage through education, advocacy and the promotion of Combining ARM and TRAIN into a single entity has not best practices. been without its challenges. One of our biggest challenges was in the development of a rate structure that would For more details, or to report address changes, please contact us at: 1) cover the costs of all that we want to do to move our Association of Tourist Railroads and Railway Museums organization into the national spotlight with an active voice P. O. Box 1189, Covington, GA 30015 in DC; 2) make the rates commensurate with the increased www.railwaymuseums.org, www.traininc.org level of services and benefits the organization will provide; and 3) set rates that are fair to all. In determining the rate (770) 278-0088 structure, the working group developed a base budget and [email protected] formulated a structured set of rates. It was recognized on the non-commercial side that a tiered rate structure was needed Officers because of the varying income level of the non-commercial President: G. Mark Ray, Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum members. On the commercial side, the working group failed Vice-Presidents: to recognize that many of our commercial members are Scott Becker, Pennsylvania Trolley Museum small businesses similar to the smaller non-commercial Linn Moedinger, Strasburg Rail Road members. As a result, many commercial members have Secretary: Ellen Fishburn, Orange Empire Railway Museum questioned the dramatic increase in their membership rate. ATRRM recognizes the value that ALL of our commercial Treasurer: Alan Barnett, Indiana Railway Museum members provide for the industry and we wish to retain you as members. Please bear with us as we review the rate Directors structure for potential adjustments. Richard Anderson, Northwest Railway Museum One of the key advantages of merging ARM and TRAIN Scott Becker, Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is a single annual meeting. For many of you, it was a Chris Bertel, Thunder Mountain Line struggle to decide which one to attend as attending both was Rick Burchett, Chehalis-Centralia Railroad too costly. As ATRRM moves forward, we are challenged John E. Bush, Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad with keeping the cost of attending a conference reasonable. Steven M. Butler, San Luis & Rio Grande Railroad Here is a where a catch-22 comes into play. A small Jeffrey D. Jackson, Train Entertainment, Inc. conference needs small meetings and can be held in many locations. As attendance grows, the need for more space Bob LaPrelle, Museum of the American Railroad increases and your potential host properties get smaller and Linn Moedinger, Strasburg Rail Road smaller. This means larger cities, higher costs, and fewer Peter Murphy, Exporail host organizations. Larger hotels result in higher room rates, G. Mark Ray, Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum meeting space rental rates, and increased banquet costs. Our Ken Rucker, National Capital Trolley Museum job will be to look at all costs associated with convention Jim Schantz, Seashore Trolley Museum attendance. This includes travel, hotel, and registration fees Fenner Stevenson, Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad to strike a balance that makes it affordable for everyone to Jim Vaitkunas, Minnesota Streetcar Museum attend. If we can’t manage this, the cost of attending Meg Warder, Black Hills Central Railroad conferences will reach the point that no one can attend and Ervin White we’ll only need the smaller hotels. Chattanooga and Montreal were both attempts at doing this. This Fall, Kyle Wyatt, California State Railroad Museum member Orange Empire is taking on the challenge. I Committees encourage everyone to register now to take advantage of the early registration discount. You can register online at Renewal Parts: Rod Fishburn, Chair, www.atrrm.org or by mail using the attached registration [email protected] form. * * * Staff I want to mention awards. In years past, TRAIN Suzanne Grace, Executive Director presented a number of awards to recognize contributions to P. O. Box 1189 the area of railway preservation, as well as individual restoration projects. ARM gave no awards. Covington, GA 30015 In keeping with the general theme of the new [email protected] organization, we wanted to take a fresh look at awards. I named a committee that included TRAINS magazine editor Aaron Isaacs, Editor Jim Wrinn, TRRM editor Aaron Isaacs, and ATRRM 3816 Vincent Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55410 directors Fenner Stevenson and Jim Vaitkunas. They met [email protected] and made the following recommendations that have been 612-929-7066 adopted. Three awards will be made to individuals: The Association of Tourist Railroads and Railway Museums is a 1.

The Optional Tours are $100 per person. The hotel has asked us to make reservations early.

The Mission Inn can be reached at (951) 784-0300. Transportation to Riverside is easy. The Mission Inn is 20 minutes from the Ontario International Airport (Mission Inn may provide transportation) and 4 blocks from the Riverside Amtrak station.

This causes the adjacent kingdom of Cranachan to become greedy since the top of the cliff is their land and the lemmings live on OPUNTIA Cranachan territory before going all suicidal on Rhyngillian land.

  • VOID 18 Is Edited and Published by Greg Ben­ but You out There—You Must Know
    SCIENCE FICTION is a term involving two words, but I fear one of them is vastly underplayed in fandom. In fact, it al­ ways has been...science, I mean. Perhaps I no­ tice it more than the usual fan, because I'm connected with science and encounter it every day. But fans have always stnessed the fiction aspect of science fiction, and except for a few notable exceptions, prodom has done likewise I'd like to attrib- ute this solely to the nature of com- munication. in fandom—writing--but it’s not wholly that. Certainly the medium of expression naturally tends to make fans concern themselves more with literary subjects; somehow, though, that doesn't offer a full explan- ation. People are usually attracted to fandom through science fiction, and in -burn only stumble upon stf after a few years of active reading in other fields* It’s only natural for them to follow this in­ terest while in fandom. Still, I find it rather surprising that so few fans are scientifically inclined, In general, they don't idly pick up a pocketbook edition of Hoyle's FRONTIERS OF ASTRONOMY while rum­ maging around at the newsstand, or seek out the science shelves at the library. Given a party at which both an author and a scientist were present, fans would probably flock to the former, Every once in a while someone will state that one of the aims of stf is to bring about a better understanding of the advancement of mankind (or something) and the Significance of The Exploration of Space, and all that— and yet fans remain curiously unmoved to take part in any activity which would support a general inter­ est in this.
