GENTELMEN"S GROUP RIDE THE SEMINOLE TRAIN












On ThursdayApril 19  a caravan of members of the VeronaWalk Gentlemen's Group and their Ladies  headed up I-75. We met at the Train Station for a night on the iron rail

Our group boarded just before 6:00 PM. The train pulled out and headed North. There were over two dozen of us in the antique railway car. Thank God it was renovated and had air conditioning.



Our five course dinner was prepared on the train and served to us as we chugged down the tracks into the swamp. It did not take too long before strange people started appearing in "our car" speaking about a murder.


The actors did not know that our residents were prepared for such a mystery. We had a full crew of  LEO's on board ready to  cuff  and book  some deserving suspect.  We even had our very own sketch artist  (good job Sue). Our Team was under command of  Hank, an experienced homicide Detective Lieutenant. Of course his mind was on  prime rib.


After a few hours on the tracks the murder was solved. Our officers departed the scene of the crime and returned to HQ with our four "suspects".  Hank said "You will all be getting a letters of commendation," and allowed us to keep whatever few bucks we found  at the crime scene.

This was a good night, a very good night. Friendships became a little stronger.  The laughs we had we will  remember.
