The STMFC, RPM in general, Prototype Rails, certainly various historical and
modeling organizations [ led, of course, by the Santa Fe ] and many other
model railroading groups have lost a giant among their members. Many of us
have lost a dear friend as well and his passing will be difficult to take.

I would just say that, among the several thousand STMFC members, I only
referred to one by his first name alone...Richard. Everyone knew who I was
referring to. Let me add that I can also say that, without Richard, there
would not have been a Steam Era Freight Car Group.
