RE: [CBQ] Re: Perkins buying RR for CB&Q

[Gerald Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

and always keep in mind that Charles Perkins was married to Forbe's* sister so 
Boston money was always readily available.  The tycoons of that age always had 
connections (at least the successful ones).  It's a good read in Overton's 
"Burlington Route"!
 
*founder of Forbes magazine, stock brokerage, investment banker etc - friend of 
Carnegie &  J. P. Morgan whereas Harriman at the UP was tied into the 
Rockefellers.

Gary,
Thanks for tackling that. It confirms both dates, leaving open the question 
about how a Q owned compnay fell on hard times only to be purchased by Perkins 
for the Q.
Appreciate you taking the look for me.
