Thank you, Mr. Park -
And thank you for the difficult job you are doing on our behalf. My new son-in-law returned
safely a couple of months ago from Afghanistan, for which we are all very thankful. With two
previous tours to Iraq under his belt, we're hopeful that he won't be returning to the middle east
for a long, long time - if ever.
My daughter Cindy (Jackelopette) and then-fiancé David were able to join me for the C&TS 40th Anniversary Party in August, 2010. Here they are taking a break while eastbound Goose #5 waits for the westbound passenger train to pass,* and - a few hours later in the day - Captain von Bargen staying in shape by jogging back to the goose after joining me for a run-by at Los Piños Tank:
- Russ
* If you look VERY carefully, you can see that the train is being pulled by - most appropriately - "my" green-jacketed #489.
