[PRCo] Re: Pittsburgh 4250

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Lybarger;


The UOP collection is stellar isn't it but I too have noted some 
big mistakes in photo labeling.  I overlook this because on the
whole I am very impressed with their efforts 'and results.'
Nevertheless, accuracy is important.  Maybe it would be a good
idea to identify these msitakes here and then send them an email.
Someone with your credentials as Archivist for PTM would be
ideal for this job.  Isn't it nice to be 'volunteered' for such
a position on the first day of the New Year?

I didn't see the picture but can do so 'mentally' from your
description;  car looks shiny new and it is a snow scene.
