Hi, Clovis -
I was lucky enough to visit the C&TS several times in the early and mid-seventies, even working as a "car attendant" on a trip or two. Here's Gary Getman working as a brakeman on a double-header in late September, 1972

p.s. I haven't heard from - or of - Gary in several years. Any idea where he is now?
