[RITSlist] Passenger car - Jane Marie

[D & E Hutchins]

Bart and Jane, do you plan to take the car to Chicago to the 
convention?  It would be a wonderful "drawing card" and maybe a 
convention trip could be arranged for a round trip from Chicago to some 
point on the Iowa Interstate, over former Rock Island rails.
Steve, I don't mean to be interfering with your plans,  I just thought 
of the idea on the spur of the moment.
Bart, if you are going to Chicago with it I would be glad to join you 
(at full fare, of course, at some point and maybe you could even 
attract others from along the line, to go along.
