Jim Thompson,
Maybe you already know about these folks, but I remembered them and
thought that I would pass this along. At last 09/1999 BRHS meet, some
folks were in attendance that had experience with the Pioneer Zephyr
and the Cal. Zephyr. A man named robert Rediske rode the famous "dawn
to dusk run from Denver to Chicago" of the PZ in 1934 when he was 10
years old. Jack Ford piloted the PZ in that run and his son was at
the meet. Marjorie Wigton, a Zephyrette, was also there. Author Mike
Schafer has written books "Classic Ammerican Streamliners" and
"Streamliner Memories" based on his experiences riding the trains and
has an article contributed by Zephyrette Beulah Ecklund in the latter
book. CB&Q president Harry Murphy's son was also in attendance at the
meet. I do not know how to contact any of these people or if they are
available to contribute to your American Experience project. Maybe
other BRHSlisters would know how to contact them.
Thanks,
Bill

Dave Lotz did me the favor of sending along Burlington Bulletin No.13 which
was dedicated to the Zephyrs. Featured prominently in the articles was a
man named J.W.
Schultz, who I understand goes by "Bill". I was wondering if anyone knows
how I could get in touch with Bill to speak to him about his collection and
the work
he's
done on researching these trains.
Thanks for your help.
