All aboard for Downers Grove !

See previous email notice below. 
The Downers Grove park district advised today that the registration for the 
presentation is at 65% of seats for a current audience of 52. If you've been 
thinking about attending here's the last call before the train leaves.

Given the tremendous response to my requests for missing pieces of info. I 
won't have time to thank each individual contributor during the presentation. I 
now know how our editor,Dave feels when he has to leave good stuff on the 
cutting room floor !

I want to thank several BRHS members from 6 different states for supplying 
drawings, photos and other info to make for a very full presentation. Thank you 
Louis Zadnichek, Bill Barber,Bob Campbell, Glen Haug, Jim Singer(BRHS 
Archive),Steve Holding and hopefully I didn't forget anyone. 

If you're interested in the Q history in Downers Grove you'll want to be at 
this presentation.

Leo
