I thought Louis Menk replaced Murphy.

Doc E'ville -

Harry C. Murphy died Saturday, March 4, 1967 from a heart attack at the age of 74. The Chicago Tribune's obit lists his date of retirement as October, 1965, so, yes, he passed within 18 months of retirement. As you know, he was replaced by D. T. Sprau's uncle, who a year later, became leader of one of the "Q's" shortline subsidiaries in the Pacific Northwest.

PS - Doc, were you able to make it to EHH's retirement party a few years back?
