RE: The Troy Trains Mag Mr. Mitre was first, but when I clicked on his mail it disappeared and an ad popped up. Be glad to send it to you Mr. Mitre if you resend me your address. With all the responses maybe I should made copies which I will be glad to do before I send it to Mr. Mitre. Just tell me you want a copy and I will put it it the mail. jd ----- Original Message ----- From: <Flcuerin@cs.com> To: <ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 3:50 PM Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Trains in Troy!! >I would love to see the book "Trains of Troy, NY".
