Mr. Reuss hosted a Board meeting of the Lower Merion Historical Society about 1995. We enjoyed his and his family's hospitality along with the tour of his basement railroad memorabilia. His/their kindness and sharing was memorable. For years we showed out-of-town guests the railroad signs and signals which lined his driveway at 212 Cherry Lane in Wynnewood.

I have known Richard since he joined Philadelphia Chapter, National Railway Historical Society in 1976. He was a colorful man, dressed in a flashy style, and I will always recall numerous visits to his home on Cherry Lane, which was a museum of museums filled with railroad memorabilia. Our sympathy to the family, from those of us in Philadelphia Chapter, NRHS
