[ARC5] dying hobby?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Once the internet hit, it “gobbled up” a lot of people’s spare time. The younger the person, 
the more time it soaked up. A *lot* of organizations / hobbies / activities that used to see a
flow of “new kids” coming in no longer see that flow. As far as I can see, none of them have
really come up with a working answer to the problem.

Attendance is down at train shows (just like at hamfests), and well-known collectors and dealers have passed away or closed up shop.
