Ciao list!

I'm a 24 year-old native. I grew up in Canonsburg and currently live in
Shadyside.  My father instilled an interest in model railroading and
railfanning at a very young age.  Over the years, in addition to the
large, long, heavy freights I developed a love for passenger rail.  I 
love riding Amtrak to Philly to see friends and riding all over on
SEPTA's regional rail, trolleys, and subways.  If I had the money and
time to take off I would travel just to ride the regional light rail
anywhere I could

I am currently a software engineer at a local company.  I'm applying for
the next Spring or Fall semester for a masters in civil engineering with
a focus on transportation; I would focus that even more on public
transit. (If anyone has any advice to that end, I'd love to hear it.)

Mr.Keener;

Are you the person producing graphics for an Prc book?  Did you recently
express an interest in scanning historical transit documents?

Do you still have an interest in model railroading?  Mr.Cramer on the list
has an impressive layout.

What kind of models did your father have?  Is he still active with models?

Did you and your father trace the history of Prc through Canonsburg?
