Ed (and anybody else participating on the Western Pennsylvania trolley discussion list) is welcome to join the Milwaukee Electric discussion
list, moderated by yours truly and graciously hosted by Derrick.

I especially like the large American "Yank Tanks" of the 1949- 1976 period. In fact, I just bought a 1968 Crown Imperial. Tracie may "detach"
from me when she finds out. (Any suggestions for hiding an eighteen and a half foot long, 4700 pound automobile until we settle into a new
house?) As for my wife and daughter, who else do I have? I have no relatives near us. I'm the only rail and traction enthusiast in both my
immediate and extended family! :-) And I'm proud to say my daughter could tell a bus, streetcar and trolley coach from one another before her
sixth birthday. She was once heard to remark, "Vacation is when we go to a cities with trolleys and Daddy rides them with me while Mommy goes
shopping. If there are old ships or boats, Daddy takes me to see those, too. Sometimes we all do tourist together like regular familes."
(Overheard by my mother-in-law at a family get together earlier this year.)
