Well there Mr. Elliott, you leave no doubt in my mind that you have just
tossed a burning fusee into the BRHS's cold firebox. Momentarily, the diesel
soaked kindling will ignite and we will have a nice roaring fire to start
building
up steam pressure. It will take alittle while, but soon enough it will be time
to start shoveling in the soft coal and the BRHS will begin to simmer and
come alive in its cold dark roundhouse stall.
As the pressure builds, the needle on the steam guage will start to bounce.
It will be time to oil around, clear the water glass, check the pitcocks and
test the injectors. With a few more scoop fulls of that beautiful smelling
southern Illinois steam coal, there will be enough pressure to set the Johnson
bar,
open the cylinder cocks and crack the throttle. With a gentle
"wuff-wuff-wuff" and safety valves sputtering, the BRHS will move from its
stall onto the
turntable and into the warm light of day.
Then, the general membership will have the opportunity to see firsthand if
what you say is true. Count upon me to be at the head of the photo-line.
Personally, I wish you would reconsider and become a BRHS member regardless of
the
outcome of your inquiry. I, for one, have always prefered to work from the
"inside" to correct matters of such importance. I can see no good coming out of
derailing our entire organization over the percieved misdeeds of a few members.
Nonetheless, I respect your strong feelings and await the outcome with growing
interest.
Best Regards,
Louis Zadnichek II
