You are quite welcome, Olaf -

Watching these old photos come to life during the scanning process, probably in most cases for the first time in over fifty years, is quite a privilege! Thank you for trusting me with these unique and precious artifacts!

The two things I miss most from the Durango of 54 years ago are 1) Having an old-fashioned burger and a bowl of oyster stew at The Western Steak House, followed by 2) Heading down to the railroad yard and climbing into the cab of a hot engine and just sitting there for a long time enjoying the warmth and the smells and the sounds.
