Fort Worth - Fri., March 9

Friday, March 9, 1990

I spent the weekend of March 9-11 in Addison (suburb of north Dallas) at the Circle K District Convention (Circle K was the college level equivalent of Key Club). On my way to Addison on Friday, I stopped through Fort Worth to do some train watching near Tower 55.
