Welcome neighbor Matt!

Are you one of the young men I've seen operating on Bob's home CB&Q layout?

Good to have you, and BOB, aboard. I know Bob well as a fellow LS&BC'er
and those others in the society who do also know he is a real gentleman.
His input to the list will be greatly appreciated. As your knowledge and
interest in the Burlington grows between this list and Bob, I hope you will
consider joining the Society as well.

BTW, a while back someone, I believe on this list, was seeking info on the
"Q"s operations in the Mendota area. Bob worked at the tower there for
awhile, I believe in the fifties (?), and could be of help in your search
for info. So ask away!
