Dear Hal,

As usual, very nice work, and work it is for me!!! Your pictures of bygone days are quite nostalgic. Remembering the good old days brings to mind that today is the anniversaries of the start of WWI and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, in which 10,000,000 people died in a 4 year span. So, perhaps the good old days weren't so good, at times.

Too, I am reminded of the times I road the old southern Jersey rr, I forget the name, from Phila to Cape May, a 3-rail I think. Anyway, the scenery was similar to some of your pix in the '60's. Sorry to ramble and thanks a million for your good information!

Best Wishes,

Jack
