[John Swindler]

Motive?  Didn't have a life, and way too much free time on his hands.  There's a lot of that going around.  Our society has become way too wealthy.

 

It was some 35+ years ago that Geissenheimer commented "didn't know any young railfans that got themselves into trouble".  Of course the nit-pickers will come up with exceptions, but what Harold was trying to say was that hobbies and sports, etc can help keep kids out of trouble.  I doubt if there are any ax murderers or arsonist on THIS list.

 

Cheers

John
