A great speaker 4/The Meet would be the past city man-ager who is retired and run- ning a bee farm.

Shall get his name and phone number. He has a very interezt-

ing story as 2/how and why the intermodal ramp came 2/Roch-elle. Further, has an interesting story about he first selected & then deselected the first short line operator 4/The City of Ro- chelle Railway. Than there is the story about how the RR's Park on the west side of town came into being.

Plz give me a couple of weeks 2/complete the task.

To the leadership of the BRHS, I am offering my services to assist with the CB&Q meet at Rochelle in October.

I just wrapped up my duties as chairperson for the CNWHS annual meet that took place in Rockford last weekend.  I'm available to discuss ideas that worked (and didn't work) for the CNWHS meet.  I can:

• Offer a presentation on the history of the Rockford/Rochelle area railroads
• Share how to hold a cookout at Rochelle Railroad Park
• Provide vendor contacts for filling tables at a swap meet and swap meet do's and don'ts
  
• Can provide detailed info on how to arrange and conduct a bus tour of the Rockford and Rochelle railroad sites (past and present) - if that is something the membership is interested in trying.  BTW the CNWHS bus trip was viewed by many as the best they had ever ridden. 
• Provide non-rail ("ladies e vent") program ideas and contacts including the contact info of the couple who coordinate this for the CNWHS meet.
• I'm also the coordinator for the RockRail (Rockford area) model railroad operating group and am also a member of the 'Switchlist' operating group, so I can provide contacts can help arrange layout visits and even operating sessions for the meet weekend. 

Meet organizers can contact me off list at rwoods613 at gmail dot com.
