[RITSlist] Logo

[Richard Hutchins]

Hello Ross, Tom & All,
IAIS does now own the rights to the Rock Island Logo
and displays it on their locomotives, once again.  The
Rock Island Technical Society does have access to it. 
It is my understanding that the RITS Company Store now
has a small supply of RI logo decals 24" square for
$25.00 each plus shipping and they can be rolled into
a shipping tube.
FYI,
Dick Hutchins
