Christmas This became the quintessential Christmas morning memory for me. Grandfather Dellinger built the platform for my electric train and that setup lasted for years. For several years that electric train was probably my most used possession. Countless battles with little plastic army men played out on that train platform, and I remember Gil Chandler saying (way back then) - "let's get out your men and have a battle!" |
