Michael Hales wrote about the formation of the Houston Area Live Steamers, 2 June 2016:

Just a small tidbit from when the club was just forming. Perfect timing for me, I had just asked the owner of the Bellaire Roundhouse if he knew of any Live Steam gatherings around Houston. He handed me a information sheet Jim Jackson had distributed around town about forming a club. Soon after that Jim had a meet at his backyard railroad in Jersey Village. The rest is History.

Peter Bryan said the following in an email sent 24 October 2019:

Jim Jackson was the original editor of Stack Talk in the beginning and if you know Jim, you knew he was one of the guiding lights in the formation of HALS. He also was the winner suggesting the name of The Cypress Creek and Southern Railroad.
