[PRCo] Re: PRCo----PCC----Trucks

[John Swindler]

Was there an occasion in the early 1960s when a PERC/PRMA member painted the 
rims white prior to a fantrip??  Like maybe 1705??  Might also have been for 
ERA fantrip in Pittsburgh around 1962.  (they spent two days touring PRC 
routes, and covered less then half the system.)

Not claiming this as fact.  Just a vague recollection about something along 
this line.  And will be first to confess a possible 'senior moment' on my 
part.
