Missing Blocks of Car Numbers

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Ted Lockman and Chuck McCormick are doing well.  We see them at the museum
from time to time.  Walter McCloskey passed away about a year and a half
ago; he had been active at the museum and was a great story teller.  One of
the TV stations (maybe it was a local cable outfit) got him on tape and it's
good.  Now if I only knew where that tape is....

	You introduced me to Walther - had forgotten his name, don't know why.
If I missed Charlie's car, I looked for Walther.  Walther had operated
the interurbans into Washington County as well.  He always seemed
somewhat sad but a very nice person and excellent operator - he could
get that car to perform.  Rode him many times during County Fair Days.

	And how about Ted Lockman (looked and spoke like the actor Lee Marvin,
if I have the actor's name correct) who operated the interurbans in
Washington County.  Rode a fan trip or two with Ted and he, too, was an
excellent operator.
	A couple more were Walter McCloskey and Charles McCormick.
