Or at least unusual, Ed -

What Olaf SHOULD have written is, "So Russo is entirely innocent of any possible wrong doing in this particular case."   Ernie has sent me a few photos to scan over the years, mostly slides from the early days of the C&TS.  Last year he sent several batches of negatives taken in 1968 – the last year of D&RGW operations over Cumbres Pass – but apparently the roughly 1750 photos I scanned for him last year weren't all of his 1968 shots, as there were no stills from either of the two June runs, when he is known to have been making movies of at least one of them.  IIRC he never sent me any negatives from 1965, '66 or '67 — of which there must be several thousand, so Olaf's assertion as to no mischief on my part is correct.
