I believe the number I saw on one end of the car was 2252 or 2052. Does anybody know what this car was doing so far north of its home rails? Where it was heading? Home to San Diego? To a scrap metal place? Any answers would be appreciated. K.

Kohlmann, Bob-O Walesa, Bronsky Eric Subject: Jack Gervais Dear Friends, At the request of Sherri Gervais, I am sending this e-mail. I am sorry to be the one to pass on bad news, but its best to get the word out as soon as possible. Our friend, John E. "Jack" Gervais, had an all-but-fatal heart attack on Tuesday afternoon. According to Sherri, Jack complained of feeling light-headed while crossing the kitchen, and said that he thought he was going to pass out. He collapsed on the floor, due to a massive heart attack. The rescue squad was called, and managed, after a great deal of effort, to get his heart going again: Jack was transported to the hospital. Jack is not hooked up to life support, and has an I-V drip for fluids and pain (if any). However, the doctors say there is no higher-brain activity. They also say that there is no chance of any, and that its only a short time before his body finally shuts off. Sherri feels that Jack was probably dead before the paramedics arrived. At this point, the family is awaiting the inevitable. As most of you know, Jack had a second, major, multiple bypass surgery a few years back. That surgery left him permanently weaker, and precipitated a kidney condition which curtailed his lifestyle a great deal. However, despite the major drawbacks, it did extend his life long enough to see both sons marry, and watch his first grandchild grow up over the past two years. (If you haven't ever seen a picture of little Wilder, he looks just like grandpa, with the same infectious smile). I will update all of you as more information is available. Please pass this e-mail on, or call anyone whom you feel should know.
