Model railroading (mostly HO-scale) was an active hobby, building 2 railroads over a period of 40 years. When we moved to Tennessee in 2004, railroading was abandoned.

Jim sang Bass in the Chorus and all others in the photo were members of the Chorus. Jim worked as an engineer at Magnavox in Ft Wayne IN 1955 - 1961. <br />

The Magnavox Chorus sang on Local TV, won a choral contest in Chicago and went by train [20th Century Limited] to New York City to record Christmas music in RCA Webster Hall studios for distribution as an LP record with Magnavox audio sales.](https://photos.smugmug.com/JimLaceyPersonal/Personal-Reflections/i-r54wJKZ/3/a856174f/Ti/IMG_0010-Ti.jpg)
![Each year since 1987, I have created a Family Event Calendar listing birthdays, other important family events and holiday/seasonal events. There are currently (2013 Calendar) 110 events. The first Calendar (1987, see January insert above) was created entirely with Microsoft Visual Basic; I now use modern calendar Apps. The self-portrait [Calendar Guru] was made in the early years. <br />
Family Event Calendars are an annual Christmas gift to extended family members.](https://photos.smugmug.com/JimLaceyPersonal/Personal-Reflections/i-Rkr9ZsJ/3/6fbb7c27/Ti/FAMILY%20Event%20Calendar%202013_Page_WithGuru_1986-Ti.jpg)
