No, John,

I'm waiting for you to spend your free time at PennDOT getting out all
of the Conestoga Traction DIA reports.  There is something that doesn't
make sense.  Ben Rohrbeck claimed that CTC hauled 9 million people in
1924 and that this was their best year.  I have trouble comprehending
how they could have lost money in 1923, 1924, 1925, and blamed it on
auto competition, and still it was their best year.  Doesn't make much
sense does it.
