Good luck getting it back, Earl. It took me almost two weeks of working with Hotmail to regain control of my hijacked account that Tom mentioned above.

The interesting part of my encounter with the hijacker was that Denny Thompson and I had just finished escorting a nearly two-week Rail Travel Center tour of tourist railways in Colorado and New Mexico and had put nearly twenty of our clients on a flight from Denver returning home to London on late Friday afternoon last September 25th. According to the hijacker's emailed story I was mugged and robbed in London on Saturday the 26th. How wierd is that! Apparently I must have shrunk myself and stole away in one of our UK client's suitcases. Why of course I would like to do that. Ever since I rode the cab of the LNER 4472 Flying Scotsman between Pasco and Wishram in the early '70s I've wanted to visit the preserved railways of the UK.

Thanks again for the ride on the 18 returning from La Veta. That was certainly a long day for you with all of the UDEs eastbound and westbound plus having to help the 8577 and 8527 up the hill.
