[CBQ] Thanks to Rupert Gamlen

[Gerald & Virginia Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

A number of people supply superb information to this list but the one who 
continues to amaze me is our friend and fellow CB&Q fan Rupert Gamlen of New 
Zealand.  I had the pleasure of meeting him at a BRHS meet 2-3 yrs (he's been 
to two as I recall?)  ALL the way from new Zealand which is on the opposite 
side of not illinois, the midwest or even the USA BUT the opposite side of the 
earth!  Talk about a dedicated fan!  Not to mention all the serious research he 
does from old books & magazines on the Internet that he shares, the information 
he has compiled on early freight cars etc - all shared with his fellow 
Burlington fans!
 
Imagine any of us, life-long Americans, providing similar material for a RR in 
Australia or New Zealand - unbelievable!  (and we also have some mbrs in 
Scandanavia & Canada who deserve praise as well)
 
Thanks fellows!
