I knew Ivan, and he would have written that letter.  He's been dead for at
least a couple decades now.

I have no clue where this man is today ... probably pushing up daisies.

I have seen a picture of a New Castle PA Birney car with a rubber stamped
name on the reverse side ... Ivan W. Saunders.   The man wasn't without
prejudice.   He was a railfan.
