Every year you paint a wonderful picture of the autumn splendor of the Spoon
Rivr valley and bring up visions of 3' gauge steamers and 30" box cars many,
many years ago with a touch of Edgar Lee Masters and every year I tell
myself why did I again manage to get both weekends full of committments,
many of which I care less about? That said, keep reminding us of this
wonderful annual opportunity to step into old vistages of the Q & next yr or
the yr after I will surprise you and come camera in hand to learn more about
the Fulton Co Narrow Gauge and its remnants. Thanks too for devoting time
at the depots every year to keep the Q's memories alive to new generations!

>This and next weekend is The Spoon River Drive. In Lewistown, IL the Fulton

>depot in Lewistown which last I knew is still being worked on, but there
>should be someone there to show you what has been done. Another is the Q
>depot in Canton, IL which is set up as a local museum. Also the Avon depot
>will have a display, which I think includes the depot picture display that
>you see at the Galesburg Railroad Days Train Show at Carl Sandberg College.
>So I may see some of you in the next couple weekends.
