Brad,
I always wondered what motivated the guys to call this meeting. I am sure it was a multitude of things but I wonder if "one" thing happened. I would like to hear Crawford tell the story. TM

TM I think you have the book I did for the 50th, read the first few pages. It started long before this.

Maybe they just liked the food. The M&N was located on the east side of Lurgan not far from Goodys.

They didn't like it to much, they purchased it and tore it down. It will make a good addition for the SFD station 2.
