The main reason for the SMSC Boston Meeting was to expose people to the hobby. At the museum we exhibited old catalogs, books, and models.
My exhibit consited of H-P Weiss models and old Mercators and my own scrarch-builts
To meet our educational mission and to promote the hobby, John Olsen put up a very complicated TEST. Some kids excelled and received a model donated by MSM.
