The Mad River Museum is a great place to visit. A couple of years ago, we visited the museum and I was impressed with the quality and number of displays they had. It was well worth the trip!

I knew Bill off and on for many years. He was always really friendly, enthusiastic and totally committed to the museum. This is a great tribute to him and his family from a place he truly loved and was committed to. I may try and be there for the ceremony, since I was planning on being in Ohio later that weekend anyway. Thanks for the info.

I must have been standing just behind the newspaper photographer when I was videotaping the train arriving. Yes, it was a wonderful ceremony, touching and funny at the same time. Most memorable quote from the ceremony to me was from Mr. Tobias, commenting on a comment by - I think - Bill's son Roger, that Bill would've been asking Mr. Tobias for one of the cars from the executive train. Mr. Tobias said, "No, Bill would have asked me for the WHOLE train!" Yeah, he probably would have, and he was persuasive enough that he just might eventually have gotten it too.
