Steve and Dave, I heard this horrible news from a fellow friend yesterday and like Steve said, life is short and fragile. Live it with your best effort! PK, as most of us rails called him, was a friend from his Dispatching days back in Hannibal. He was a treasure trove of knowledge about Q history. He got me started and was very generous with very early Hannibal timetables! So thankful 🥲 for his encouragement and friendship! RIP, PK

It is with a sad heart I report the passing of fellow member P.K. Hannah.
PK had worked for the CB&Q during collage as an Agent/Operator and then went full time and after the BN merger became a Train Dispatcher in the Hannibal Mo. Office. Due to the Hannibal and Cicero Offices being in the same seniority
district he bid a job in the Cicero Office in the mid-70's That is where I met PK and we became working friends both in the office and outside. PK was a paper collector Anything Railroad Paper. because of it I worked as his muscle moving paper and helping
out with moving his excess to shows where he would often have tables with material for sale. We both got moved to Galesburg and one day he said come by and help me move. He got called into work and my Dad and I loaded a moving truck with you name it from
his house. I thought sure the tires were going to pop. After we got moved to Texas we would often travel cross country to shows with his excess for sale. I had just returned from Texas where I had done some work on his house before an O Scale Show and returned
home here to SC. One thing he was always wondering was his last show. He was on the road here to pick me up for the Gaithersburg, Md. show next weekend and had a traffic accident on I-20 in Tyler, Texas.
Wake up every day looking forward to the next but remember It might be your last. We never know.
Steve in SC
