What is unique about Coke, Earl Knoob and a few others is that they were able to become real steam mean long after steam was "dead". AND they have the literary genius (art of bullshit?)and technical savy to raise hard, dirty, dangerous work to an art form. The best thing about this forum (and our n'er do well offspring the dead gote)is it has given them a forum to start their writing. It's going to be a damn shame if their recollections and stories don't get recorded in some kind of permanent form. It has made for some good reading.
