Steve;
You're right! A lot of people from local
and northeastern clubs were in to see it, and that's just what they did!
Museums, too! Local historical society, same thing. Then, to add insult to
injury, I had one fellow from a well known steam club go up one side of me and
down the other when I mentioned we were recovering the engine, he was mad as
hell. I had to hear how his club had enough money to get any engine they
wanted, and if that one was worth getting they would have gotten it, how we
were spoiling the chances of other groups getting engines because we didn't
know what we were doing and we were going to give such groups a bad name when
we failed. Needless to say, I've never joined. Unbelievable. The good part is
that it turns out he is not representative of the attitudes in general in that
group, and there are many fine fellows there doing good work too! But there's
always gotta be one! - Jim Mackessy
