Hello again everyone!
Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page from the city of Chicago Illinois USA.
Yesterday afternoon, June 26th, 2010 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, I hosted My Chicagoland Railfan Photo Sliswahow and Video Presentation at The Eisenhower Public Library in nearby northwest suburban Harwood Heights Illinois.
The show was a success, as a a number of people came out to see the show upstairs in the nice air conditioned meeting room. After the show was over ( All too soon of course) I had the opportunity to socialize with some of My fellow railfans in attendence.
A very humorous and unplanned part of the show, was My encounter with a Disfunctional modern sliding push button wall light switch. As soon as I had dimmed or shut off the room lights, they would automaticly come back on again as I was walking away to grab My seat! It was just like something out of one of those old Three Stooges movies. "Oh, A wise guy! Ruff! Ruff!"
Luckily Mike is an Audio Visual Director at Northeastern university, and was able to assist Me with working that crazy light switch with a mind of it's own. Ha Ha Ha!
Mike was just like "Scotty" on the old TV show "Star Trek".
Thanks Mike! You saved the show.

Mike, Gladdy, Myself and Dennis.
Dennis has been sending Me numerous E-Mails and comments for the past few years at Eddie's Railfan Page from His home in Cinncinati Ohio.
Dennis is originally from Chicago, and grew up in the Poratage Park neighborhood on the northside. His family moved to Cinncinati Ohio many years ago when He was Young, but somehow part of His heart remained in Chicago. He was in town visiting Family, and made it a point to visit the show while He was here.
Thank You Dennis and everyone for making The Chicagoland Railfan Photo Slideshow and Video Presentation a fun and absolutely wonderful experience. A special thank you to the five people who shared their storys of riding the Chicago streetcars many years ago as well.
Thanks everyone!
Eddie K.

Eddie,
I had a great time last week. Glad I finally got to meet you and other fellow railfans. I am amazed how much everything changes every few years I go back up there. Though I knew Maurice Lenel had closed, it was kind of tough being in the same neighborhood as your presentation and that not being there.
Thanks again Eddie,
Dennis
