[Greg King]

Hi Fred,

Glad to see you are on the mend, hope it is a speedy recovery.

You mentioned running the Conestoga Birney at Manhheim, please correct my
ignorance if I'm wrong, but was'nt the only Birney saved a Double door car
and I thought that was stuffed and mounted, does it run now? And, if so,
what's Manheim?

Cheers
Greg in Orstralya
