Bob, Well on the Wednesday before the Spree my wife badly sprained her
ankle and had to stay off of it for a couple days and use crutches after that.
Since she was going to come with me and then visit some sites she looked up on
the net, I decided we couldn't make it as I didn't want to leave her home
alone. Did you see any of the AT&SF Industrial Rail cabooses at the show?
