Re: How about a fund to help keep E&P #4 "Eureka" alive?

Hi Russ,
That is an interesting idea. Actually I gave it some thought several years ago but figured at that time that I could pretty much handle things on my own. However, since then some things have changed. I got older (who hasn't?) and the collection has grown beyond simply running and caring for Eureka. In the intervening years I made the Carter Bros. flat car, and am closing in on completing the combine. Also, I acquired miles of rails that I hoped someday to put down. Likewise I have a pile of Eureka & Palisade artifacts that will eventually need a home when I go to the great roundhouse in the sky. It is all becoming a bit much for one guy to handle.

So, the idea of a Friends of Eureka, or some such thing, has crossed my mind. I need to give it more thought and consider the pros and cons of the idea. Anybody have and further thoughts?
