In reviewing your many engine photographs I glimpsed a man standing in front, so I enlarged and sure enough, there is your father standing on the front rail of EL3616! He is now in a frame, only wish to have found this years ago. There are few photos of your father at a later age. I smile that he was hiding among all those train photographs for so long.

Have been reading your books during the pandemic, retaining your bookmarks. So many things we would have talked about! I miss the confidence you gave me, so every once in a while I try to do something courageous. Love, Priscilla

I think of Richard every time I hear a train whistle, or see a hummingbird at the honeysuckle bush.
