To All on the CB&Q list,
I allowed my CB&Q membership lapse for a year and now regret it.
I plan on renewing here shortly and I am not overly concerned on the
calendar's arrival date. Maybe not like clockwork or the Zephyr, but it will
show up
sometime soon.
This is a volunteer organization and unless YOU help, things don't get done
unless you want to pay a lot more in dues. I have not helped in the past and
will not complain.
I think the BRHS does a great job and I would like to thank them for their
hard work.
I belong to the Union Pacific Historical Society too and I just received my
calendar from them on Dec. 23rd. and it is produced by the Union Pacific
Railroad. That makes it easy to provide for the members!!!
It would be great in more than one way if the Burlington Route Railroad
produced a 2005 calendar. That would mean maybe a blackbird or Chinese red
locomotive would still be seen in the Havelock shops!!! Instead of using the
effort to
complain, why don't we start using the effort to campaign. Try to bring on
new members for the BRHS and in different regions that it ran. I notice a lot
of
people on the list are from Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. I don't see that
many from Nebraska and the "Route"was really big here. I don't know the number
of
BRHS membership right now but what about setting a goal. Contact old members,
retired employees and our friends who remember the Zephyr. Maybe next year at
this time we will have plenty of good things to talk about.
