Tom Shreve celebrates 50 years at Roaring Camp & Big Trees

Over on Roaring Camp Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/roaringcamp) they have a photo and brief story on
Tom Shreve who is celebrating his 50th year at the Roaring Camp and Big Trees RR. Given the nature of the tourist
railroad industry and the way many companies treat their employees these days I feel that this is a remarkable achievement.
Here's to Tom and hoping that he will enjoy many more years of railroading. Below is a photo from one of the summers when I
worked at Roaring camp circa 1979 showing Tom standing in the doorway of the Kahuku. The gentleman standing on the ground
I'm sure many of you will recognize as Earl Knoob.
