Greetings to Everyone,
Was quite a weekend for everyone. Fairly decent outside, slight wind out of
the north, made it tolerable without a coat.
During the week, Mark Kniebel and Cory Bennett spent a lot of time cutting
trees down at the wye properity. Richard Warner might of joined in also.
Lots of wood piles everywhere. Dave Cook was driving the back hoe with
the bucket filling it up with wood an dumping it into the dump truck. A couple
of good sized truck loads were dumped back by the shop buildings. Bing
Ringsley came down with his skid loader an pushed up brush into the
burn pile. A lot of brushed was burned on the wye also.
Down at the shop, Les Beckman painted the small toy engine in the warm
shop building. Doug, John LaOrange, Sparky, worked on the Erie 310 Alco
engine. Next weekend engines will be started for testing and moving
equipment around in preparation for the Easter train rides.
Steve Hendrics and Joe Baker may have worked on Grasselli tower inside. I just
saw some vehicles over by the tower.
Bob Barcus and Loretta were in the depot building getting ready for the train
rides for Easter.
Sunday was the HVRM's annual dinner at the Industrial Revolution in Valpo.
A good turnout of members that have come out of hibernation of winter.
Bob drew a few tickets for prizes for the dinner. A great meal was eaten
by all.
Les & Betty Beckman had a celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary
in Crown Point Saturday evening. Lots of grandkids and friends attended
the event. I made Les an poster of pictures that I have taken over the past
couple of years an had lots of HVRM members sign it on Saturday an Sunday.
Les & Betty departed monday on Amtrak for Denver for a couple of days of
baseball with the Chicago White Sox playing, won Tuesday 15-3, tour of
Coors Brewery and Golden CO. Leaving Thursday evening, so Les should
be back at the museum on Saturday. Maybe he caught a foul ball, who knows.
One thing I did learn Saturday night, was Les actually had a head of hair when
he got married, but lost it soon after, wonder why? hahaha. Dan Siple came
on down Saturday to visit an sign the poster. Looks good, still into military
restoration of vehicles.
Have a good week, temps are rising nicely, but stil had frost both yesterday
an this morning on the ground. Notre Dame girls lost the Championship
basketball game last night to UCONN. I did not hear of any rioting at Notre
Dame after the game, wonder if UCONN celebrated again by burning dozens
of couches in the streets?
