[PRCo] Re: PRC Rt. 56B

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

You provided a couple of excellent posts, Mr.Long; thank you
for sharing your information and pictures.  Your first photo of
4398 (other email) is almost identical to the 'mystery' photo
isn't it.  The broadside of 4398 really tells the story.
Please share more as you remember.
