certain details that I Most Always come away learning something
that did not sink in before    ----    even though I have read

THIS  is when the minutia gets annoying to me!!!

	Have thought about this in relation to the trolley lists to
which I subscribe.    Since most of the  REAL  trolleycars are no
longer with us, we tend to get lost in things which we really
can't pin down but nevertheless pique our curiosity to sustain an
interest in our hobby.    This is our connection to something
which we cannot tangibly enjoy any longer.

	Thank You, Don!    Some of this I learned from you!
