({[pat]}) In Kenosha, WI

[Jim Holland]

Greetings!

	Lou Rugani is a local Kenosha fan and is pro-active in support of
rail.  He makes periodic updates of the happenings there on various
trolleycar lists.
	I think their historic trolleycars are a stretch of the imagination,
especially after hearing your description.  Their budget may operate on
a shoestring as well; 1-2 years ago they were soliciting donations for
support.  The economy is red hot now; what happens if it cools a little,
esp. in Kenosha.
	Is Johnson Wax still there - is it still the main employer?
	And as I mentioned, maybe it is ({[pat]}) colors and not PRCo.
