Hey Yuze Gize,

It is a sad day for all of us in the hobby... I picked up this message on the PRR-Talk list from Dan Cupper and felt it was worth sharing.

I never met Ted Rose but last October in Naperville, Bruce Meyer (of EMD fame) along with Bob Hundman, I had the great opportunity to hear rail fan stories from both of them over dinner that included Ted Rose. The stories just flowed, and many very funny ones I might add. I think that Ted has made a tremendous impact on all us and we may not even know it. Some like Denny Anspaugh are fortunate to have been touched/blessed with Ted's special talents.

Ed DeRouin can you call Bruce and let him know for Ted's passing for me? I will have Dan Cupper contact J Parker Lamb another of this croud of rail archivist who ran with the bunch in Illinois during the waning years of steam... So long Ted, on the last train home
