In the attached newspaper clipping, Harry is in the bottom photo entertaining some neighborhood kids behind his 3/4 inch scale, "Dixie Dee".

The top two photos show visitor, Captain Gary Kubicek, former Korean POW, member of GGLS, and future Charter Member of LALS.



Gary Kubicek was a member of GGLS in the late 1940's and helped them build their first outdoor track in Oakland, CA's "Redwood Regional Park". He later became a charter member of LALS.

Captain Gary Kubicek has now retired from the Air Force to his home in Burbank, California, where Live Steam locomotives will be given a lot of attention. Gary has one of Lester Friend's articulated locos in 3/4 inch scale underway. He will affiliate his live steam activities with the Southern California Live Steamers.
