A group of collectors here in the Northeast is working on one for 2026 at Mystic Seaport Museum, timed to coincide with the opening of their new ship model wing. Peter Gottschalk is our liaison with the Museum and will keep us informed of developments as they occur.

In the meantime, we're trying to keep the collecting flame alive here on the East Coast with occasional local meetings at our collectors' homes organized by email and word of mouth. I've hosted several over the last few years as have others, and we plan to continue. Next one at my place will be in late April or early May. Stay tuned for more details.

My apologies to the collecting community for my absence from the MB over the past few years. Until recently, work responsibilities have prevented me from playing the part I once did in organizing these events. However, my recent retirement has allowed me the time to become a more active participant again instead of an occasional observer. Anyone wishing to attend or help organize future collectors' activities on the East Coast may email me at neslo1250@gmail.com.
