As I said in my last post I was at a function dinner at the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide.
The night was warm and the museum is a large tin shed so the expectation was for a sweltering experience. Fortunately with the use of some large fans the building was very comfortable. Thus making conversation easy and enjoyable.
Trains filled the room and made an excellent backdrop to the event. They even had a steam train with smoke coming out of the stack to add to the feel of the event. I would recommend visiting the museum.
We had the privelige of having David Foster, multiple world champion woodcutter, provide an address. The words he had to share were very inspiring as he tried to express the importance of having a dream and pursuing it. He also expressed the primacy of family.
I was very impressed to here a leader in his field implore the men of the group to put the family first. He expresed the benefit he had of being close with his father. He and his father achieved 11 world titles together in log cutting. The love he had from his father was a strengthening feature in his life. He achieved success because of his family not inspite of them.

The people at the museum were great. It was an honour to be able to attend this venue out of hours and have the volunteers be available to provide tours and keep the place open. They have done a remarkable job on keeping the exhibits going and in such fantastic condition.

 

Till next time.
