I second the comments. The level of work is amazing and incredible - graduate school level of production. BRHS is indeed beyond fortunate for those who do this

Ray, 

I and I am sure the other authors appreciate your kind words. They echo some of my very words during a recent board discussion. You will be happy to learn that there are a couple new names that will,in the not too distant future, be listed as authors of Bulletin articles. We encourage others to write about those Q things that you are passionate about.

But while the authors do donate hundreds or more hours to their research,writing,visual hunts and then rewriting they are supported by a whole team of people not often recognized for their contributions to bring the BRHS members these in depth Bulletin articles. 

As Ive said before in my mind first and foremost is our editor Dave Lotz who in turn spends scores and at times hundreds of hours on each Bulletin editing,polishing,researching and molding the article into the finished product. Having now worked with Dave on a few pieces i am amazed as to what he finds to bring more value to the articles.

Then there are the proof readers who find our errors in spelling and sentence structure but also sometimes in material facts. None of us knows everything about every subject.

The archive team finds so many supporting documents and photos stored in the treasures at Baraboo that

Add value to the pieces. We also sometimes draw extensively from other sources such as Lake States and other archives and collections.

Thanks again for your comments as they do help support the drive to share knowledge about our favorite railroad.

Got my copy in San Jose CA earlier this week. By far one of the best Bulletin's to date. Annual membership fees are well worth every nickel. I wouldn't miss an issue at any cost.

 

The article by our good member, Rupert is OUTSTANDING. How he is able to gather all the detailed information about the shadow-lining cars is amazing. How many hours of research, Rupert? I'm reading every word and am so appreciative of all the information. Thank you Rupert.

 

In fact, previous issues of the Bulletin always amaze me. The contributors who do hundreds, if not thousands, of hours to research and then share it with us, makes our Society something to be proud of. 

 

I do realize that there are only a hand full of contributors, but what they produce is top notch. It is too bad that there are not others that are not able to contribute to articles to the Bulletin. 

 

I wish I had the resources, time, energy, patience and penmanship to do an article for the Bulletin. Aging is our worst enemy. I admire the likes of: Hol Wagner, Dave Lotz, Bill Franckey, Steve Holding, John Schultz, Leo Phillips and others.

 

Thanks for all those who gladly support our Society and ask little in return.
