I should have mentioned I have those issues in my collection as well
as I attended the C&NWHS Annual Meet in Rapid City in the Spring of
1997 (if my memory serves.....). Good time, great food (buffalo!),
was held at the Alex Johnson Hotel in Rapid.
I do think the CNWHS still have those back issues from 1997 in stock
if anyone is interested. Obviously deals with C&NW and predecessor
Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley RR, but info, including maps,
are invaluable and first rate. Author Rick Mills is a friend of my
father's and is considered one of the most knowledgeable authors on
South Dakota Railroads, not to mention one of the nicest guys you
could meet.
