Rick - Your words mean a lot to many of us I am sure. Those who had
the good fortune of being born to families with Burlington employees,
and/or along the line & traveling it, have "in-bred" reasons to
collect, model and railfan the Q. But the long term existence of
BRHS and the likelihood of more models, books, etc hinges on our
attracting fans, collectors & modelers who's only tie to the Q is
what they read in a book, saw @ a hobby shop or experienced @ a BRHS
meet. As a Board mbr, I think we have to give a good ear to fans
like you and cultivate further converts, as it were, from existing
RRs. We do have a BIG advantage over most though: Burlington is
still the 1st name of one of the "Big 4" and stainless, Chinese Red,
record-setting Zephyrs, preserved steam, blackbirds, no-2-alike gas
electrics, home built frt cars, Vista Domes, unique RR-issued
brochures and handouts, greybacks, excellent BRHS publications, etc.
Everywest AND Everywhere BEST! Gerald
