So you were only 28, Casey -

When you and your brother helped Jim Poston and Rich Murray and me grotesquefy #487 into a faux #483 for the C&TS 40^th B.D. Party ten years ago (almost), and I was a mere 68 at the time.  And since we're talking "eights" here, I was a young whippersnapper of only 8 (and ½) when I saw RGS Alco #20 for the first time, seventy years ago, disguised as a Tomahawk & Western Baldwin, the 'Emma Sweeney' for the film 'A Ticket to Tomahawk'.  Time sure does fly!!
