Ken Rodig served as IBLS Midwest Secretary from 1996 until the IBLS was dissolved in 2003.
Early Interests
Model trains have always held Ken’s interest, starting with his father’s Lionel® set around the family’s Christmas tree. While he also models in other scales (he had an HO scale home layout and is in the process of building a G scale) Ken was hooked on live steam trains after running a friend’s live steam locomotive. Ken has been a member of MLES since 1984, and the Club’s secretary since 1987.

- I hope this note finds you in good health. It's been a while since having any contact with the IBLS (wait, I WAS the IBLS in the Midwest!) however it was dissolved a number of years ago as you very well know, by the secretaries at the time. By the way I wasn't for it, but was out voted by the other 3. I enjoyed serving as a secretary and didn't really what to give it up, but I promised the others that I would uphold their wishes.
- I'm proud to have been asked by Ralph Tucker to take over for him back in the day. Never met Dick Thomas but talked to him on the phone a number of times years ago. Went to the Pennsylvania Live Steamers 50 Anniversary meet and met Bob Hornsby. Ran his beautiful Pennsylvania Atlantic.
- Just thought that you might like to know that there's still one of us old secretaries still around and kicking in the hobby.
