Yes, Derrick.  I always associated 1138 acquisition with Dick Bowker.  I also associated him with Forest Hills along the 87 line.  I'm looking for some clarification of the word "associated".
 
I also associated Bob Brown with 3756.  And Brown, Redman and Galbreath with M1.  Guess I just assumed that 832 was a "pass the hat" around at a PERC meeting.
 
By late 60s, the recollection is that an appeal would appear in Trolley Fair to help support an acquisition.

And there is an impression that it was three individuals that saved M1.  I'd like to hear the 'real' story.  1138 is another car whose acquisition might have been dueto one person.
