Hi, Roger -
"Good Scotch, Bad Puns and Classical Music." ... Wow! sounds like my kinda guy!!
... Add a few steam lokeys of various and sundry gauges and wheel arrangements -
plus a couple of purty girls - and life is good!!
Based on what Mark and others have posted, I vote we recognize CJ as a Curmudgeon Emeritus,
and dedicate Volume II of the Screen Saver - The 1970's - to his memory.
Without him, there most likely wouldn't even have BEEN a C&TS in the 1970's, and NONE of us would have ANY photos to share!
To CJ!!

p.s. John Cole called this morning, and we agreed that it was O-K to revise the subject line.
pps. Perhaps the First ANNUAL Chili John Memorial Chili Cookoff should be held on Sunday, September 5, 2010 as part of the C&TS 40th Anniversary Celebration ...
