Re: Boiler Wiping @ 10,015 Feet

Thank you, William -

The 40th Anniversary Celebration was a TEAM effort, and that's why it was so much fun!!   It was great to finally meet several of my NGDF friends face-to-face, and to have so many chip in on the preparations to ensure things came off on time.  Jim Poston did most of the hard work on #483; without Bill Scobie's help #489 would probably not have been green for the photo freight on Saturday, and without Rich and Mike Murray and the Akin Brothers "#483" might have remained incognito until Monday.

THANK YOU ALL FOR A GREAT LONG WEEKEND!!

p.s. For additional photos of the Clean Green Machine in action during the C&TS 40th Anniversary Celebration see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq. For some great shots of the May 25 'Springtime' charter see John West's album at [chasingtrains.smugmug.com] and Brian Jansky's photos a few pages down in his album at [www.flickr.com].

pps. I live at about 75 feet above sea level most of the year, and have SEVERAL years on Bill - so no more sniveling allowed!   Or aloud!!
