I can scan and send the pictures to anyone that would like to see them but it would be this later this evening after I get home from work and a tee-ball game. (Unless I'm to tired and don't get online then it would be tomorrow. They can't be put on the web list but I can send them to anyone's personal email address.

What a great thing for you to do! Before his death, a friend of ours worked for the Chessie system... I still have a few of the logo items around our house. Please add me to the list for the pictures. Do enjoy that T-ball game... my grandsons are well past that time and play both AAU and high school ball... soon to be college. But I will always remember the innocence and excitement of their T-ball games...
