| Greetings! Last year at this time, we were going through an unseasonably warm period, including 5 consecutive days of temps in the 80's! Not so this year, as Ma Nature is in cahoots with Old Man Winter to keep him around. Temp in the mid-30's today with a bitter northwest wind. More of the same forecast for this week. Still, things continued to move forward at the museum. Bob Jachim, John LaOrange, Steve Henrichs and Mark Knebel removed old dirt from the museums right of way between the Mulberry Street crossing and the museums depot, with 10 new ties now in place. Later in the morning, Steve and John put the newly rebuilt ABD in place on B&LE caboose # 1989. Ed Keeler joined Bjarney Henderson in continuing the rebuild of the interior of the Pullman Troop Sleeper. Fred Boyer and I went up and made a list of the missing levers in Grasselli Tower. After lunch, the bi-monthly membership meeting commenced. Approved was Tom Travis's request to have the SCARC hold a special ham radio event for the museums 25th Anniversary June 15th and 16th up in Grasselli Tower. Other items of interest will be in the upcoming museums Newsletter. Rich Warner and Steve Newland continued their work on the G-gauge layout expansion in the depot building. Bob Barcus and Diane Bennett worked in the museums gift shop. John LaOrange and Bob Albert spent the afternoon taking the scrap metal located next to C&EI #A-1054 back to the scrap pile in the museums material yard. Tired and cold, I rolled out of the museum about 4:30 p.m. Keep warm everyone. Spring arrives this week whether Mother Nature thinks so or not. Les |
