I have often attempted to espouse the view that their is room in this country for all sorts of museums and all sorts of opperations. Seeing the Bellow's Falls pictures I weep with Bob for what could have been, as it's a darn beautifull thing. I think that all it takes to make a project workable is a good dream, motivation, know how, appropriate funding, organization, and a huge helping of hard work. Good luck TJ with your tourist line, and I hope that we can save more of railroading's fabric. If I've sounded negative in the past, I was trying to defend institutions I love, not to say we should loose such beautifull historic sites. We can't save it all, but it's all important and worth saving. Let's hope we can get better organized and work harder to save more of it.

Sincerely
David Ackerman
