[PRCo] Re: For Boris

[Fred Schneider]

Without looking at any rosters to see where cars were stored, I am  
assuming it was Rankin.   There were a lot of 1200s stored there in  
the late 1960s.   I remember Norm Vutz telling me that PAT had askd  
PRC if they could have some of them and PRC countering with, "Why ask  
us, you condemned the property, they're yours."  At that point PAT  
would not touch them with the proverbial ten foot pole for fear of  
admitting ownership.  And in the long range, in the out of court  
settlement, PRC gave up and PAT won and PRC scrapped the cars in  
Rankin and PRC sold the building.
