At risk of sounding like some brain dead old codger (oops!), does anyone recall who led the fundraising effort when the possibility of preservation first stirred? I was a callow young alcoholic living in Pasadena, CA, and hung out at Ace Model Shop and The Slim Gauge Guild. The owner at Ace was an early donor, and talked me into sending $$, but I can't remember where or to whom. Donors received a certificate with a number that corresponded to a D&RGW car #. The Ace guy had a caboose "05..." number, which he prized--- I got a flat car, or some such.I know that cert is still in some box of old photos or other arcana in my storage shed.
Does anyone remember all this, or am I slipping further into cottage cheese cortex country??
