Craft CB photos

[brathke at juno.com]

I don't know Patrick Hamill, but in the late 50s and early 60s I lost
track of four railfans who either went in the Service or to college.  I
hadn't heard from them in 35+ years, but within the past 18 months we all
found each other on the Internet - three are in the same e-mail lists
with me, and one was doing a word search on his own name and found it on
a website photo that I had submitted to a rail page.  There's hope for
Patrick.
