Gene, The Jan 1954 ORER shows MARX assigned to Armour and Company, used on cars numbered 3000-3099. gary roe quincy, illinois

Clark, I was going to write that if you start on it now, you could have it done by Naperville; but knowing you, I better say if you start on it now, you could have it done by tonight's operating sessi

I was wondering if there is someone who has been collecting all the notes that have been written about Richard over the last couple days, with the intent to forward them to his family by some means. I
