Sorry, there'll be more, jno doubt.

I'll be doing a Pittsburgh Railways 1960s slide show at PTM on August 4.  It'll be announced shortly.

Everyone make your vacation plans now - this is pretty good stuff if I do say so myself.  As well as mine, a few of Bob McManns and quite a few of poor old Joe Jessel's will be on display.

  Hi John - 

  Well I set my mind on that Trolley Coach book that I would not go over $128 
  US on it.  Good move as it went for $180.   

  My guess is the other one will too. 

  Had I got the first one at $128 I probably would have taken a more agressive 
  shot at the other one listed.  I had $300 in my head as plenty for both of 
  them.  But with the first gone, its off to plan B. 

  Plan B is that I have a source who has offered to copy for me  both books for 
  $100. 
  That seems like a much more rational way to go and I'll have some pennies 
  left over for your next publication. 

  By the way, even though I am heavy with the Pittsburgh chat group, Arden, Ed 
  and 
  Fred Schneider,  (I am the same age as Fred III)  I have actually spent more 
  time in your fair city watching and riding street cars.  I started in 1958 
  without a camera,  and made spotty trips in the 60's and got serious the week 
  before Rodgers Rd. was converted to trolley coach.  I got good movies of all 
  the lines from that time on and 
  edited and put out some of my stuff on Steve Neff's nameplate in the 70's.   
  My wife and I love Toronto and its nice having you on the Pittsburgh group.
