And YOU will also assist, as will Fred W. The Third......ooops, he's not here to
defend himself. So you, Mr. Holland, will also assist in writing the definitive
history of the Railways and West Penn. ;-)

Speaking of Ed, we just returned from having a delightful dinner with Mr.
Lybarger,  his son and his son's girlfriend. His son lives two miles from my
house. Small world, eh? I hope you are all pleased to know the "Railways Red"
debate spilled over into our dinner conversation, much to the amusement of my
wife, and Ed's son. Charlie Brown also joined us for the First Annual Las Vegas
Traction Meet. :-)  Ken J.
