Fritz is even crustier than I am, Larry - almost as bad as Roger Wigwam, Stephen Four-Knees or Willie J-B -
so not much chance of offending him and the rest of the Silverton gang. Besides, it was YOU who pinned
a lot of theblame responsibility for saving the Narrow Gauge on poor little Emma, and I was just trying to
prop you up!

Right, Larry -
You are spot on in your assertion that Ma at least - not necessarily The Kids - might appreciate the D&S's and C&TS's Hollywierd connections. Since AT2T was MM's first movie - or at least SFAIK the first in which she had a speaking rôle - IMHO it would be proper for the DRHS folks to appropriate an appropriate (wo)manikin and position her on the prop in Durango in order to re-create the scene in AT2T where MM is seen polishing Emma Sweeney's (recently recovered and re-installed) smoke box front.**
