Knowing Andy as well as I know him ... and I'm known him since  
1958 ... I can best describe him in a quote from someone else, "Not  
always right but never in doubt."   I think the quote sums him up  
very well.   Car 100, the tens and the elevens were very similar.    
Without something more definitive, someone's statement published in  
Trolley Talk that this is car 100 is hard to believe.    PRC painted  
the numbers on the fronts of the inside of the cars.   So how do we  
know these are pictures of 100 other than Andy said so?    Until you  
show me a picture of the same car from the rear to the front showing  
the control stand and the number or the St. Louis car job order  
number, I'm going to be extremely hesitant to accept the hypothesis  
that this is car 100.
