At the time, I was a Freshman at MIT.  It was during the Spring Term.  I attended Boston NRHS meetings regularly.  It may have been actually an RL&HS trip, but I heard about it at an NRHS meeting and bought my ticket at one of the meetings.  It was billed as a "Round the Mountains" trip, but there certainly may have others with that name.

On the Classic Trains forum, several years ago I posted my use of the station at 13 years old riding the Suncook Valley mixed, four times.  My first visit was in 1937, with parents, aged 5, boat to Boston, B&M to Concord, private car to the camp where my sisters were, one counselor and one camper, return the same way; then 1938 through summer 1945 to and from summer camp.  Then the fan trip, then bike ride around Lake Winnapasauki, then as an acoustical engineer working on the State Legislature sound systems, just about to the end of passenger service.

Glad the Concord Stagecoach in the lobby was preserved.
