  IN MEMORIAM

  HAROLD H. GEISSENHEIMER

  We deeply regret to announce the death of Harold H. Geissenheimer, former 
President of the Electric Railroaders' Association, professional 
transportation executive, top manager of several large transit agencies, 
Major in the Pennsylvania National Guard, avid supporter of electric 
railways and dear friend on January 7, 2010.



  The Electric Railroaders' Association plans a Memorial Dinner at Il 
Campinello Restaurant on Friday, April 9th at 6:00 PM to remember Harold and 
reflect on his life and accomplishments.



  As you know, he was revered as a great figure in our transportation 
industry and in the Pennsylvania National Guard. We hope that people from 
the various elements of Harold's life will speak after the meal about these 
accomplishments, share anecdotes, his idiosyncrasies and good works. A 
complete sit-down dinner is planned from the restaurant's menu, including 
coffee and dessert, for $60 per person. Adult refreshments will be available 
from the bar at your own expense.

  Il Campinello Restaurant is located at 132 West 31st Street, Manhattan, 
only one-half block east of Pennsylvania Station, quite convenient to 
subways, buses, Amtrak, NJ Transit and Long Island Rail Road trains..

  Hopefully, you will join us and others from the myriad of positions he 
held to recall what Harold accomplished in his life and to remember how much 
better we are because of our friendship and association with this great 
leader. Fill out the coupon below and send it to us along with your check by 
March 30, 2010 so we can make final arrangements with the restaurant.
