Pat Keegan Named Man of the Year for 2014

Pat Keegan has been named the Highland Park Society of Model Railroad Engineers, Inc. Man of the Year for 2014.

Pat has been the project lead in converting the club's DC system over to a more modern DCC system. Actually Pat has been working on implementing a dual system–both DC and DCC power equipment are able to run on the layout. 

Pat was surprised at being named the Man of the Year but members at the banquet indicated that it was a popular and correct choice. Congratulations Pat.
