[PRCo] Re: OT: WRM Menbers Day...

[Jim Holland]

Kevin is in his mid-20s and has volunteered at WRM since a teen  --  
don't know how often, but he is only one person.     I had hoped to get 
up there yesterday to see some of the work Kevin is doing but didn't 
make it.
.
On the 56 // 65 at Mifflin  --  when I saw that PRCo was spelled out in 
the 56 line I thought this to be curious and wondered if it was another 
company on the 65  --  but then I thought this was a century old map as 
well  --  or close to it.     Amazing that this company was brought into 
PRCo so Late!
