Does the presence of a swastika left by the vandals turn this incident into a hate crime.
Hate crimes could come under federal investigation. Potentially this could lead to much more serious charges.

Hello all,

Just passing on the word, for those that want to help, but are too far away or doesn't have the free time. A few members and a local bank has set-up a vandalism repair fund.

Checks can be sent to the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum Vandalism Repair Fund, c/o The Savings Institute, P.O. Box 95, Willimantic, Ct 06226.

Thanks for your support,

Rich Cizik
