[SEL] re Tom McKay

[Ron Page]

Hear Hear Peter.

I knew Tom through our association with the NHMA.  I was Secretary for two
years when he was Treasurer and we had many conversations over that time
both on the phone and at the annual committee meetings .  Apart from engines
we also had dealings about old engine tools as well.

He will be sadly missed.
