Hi All,
I just wanted to reach out to everyone who participated in this years' Fall Work Weekend and say thank you again for an amazing time. It is no small wonder that so much gets accomplished when we have such a wonderfully talented, kind, and giving group of people descend upon the museum in such a blitz. Of course it goes beyond my own appreciation to something greater and that probably reaches each of us a little differently, but I am beyond thankful that such a place does exist and becomes a more and more tangible reality as each year passes.
The stories and memories that I've witnessed over the years mean more to mean than you can imagine and I will do my best to remember them and pass them on for as long as I am able.
This year I am especially thankful for those of you who helped prepare and paint the South wall of Sheepscot Station and the Trim- Stewart, Annie, Mark, Bryce, Dan, and Steve Z. Sometime next year lets aim for a repeat performance on the East wall and the North wall. I also want to thank those of you who in the pouring rain no less- helped to design and build the culvert and retaining wall that made it possible for #9 to get onto the turntable by Monday. Your perseverance and patience will not soon be forgotten.
Thank you, everyone, again for carrying on the living tradition of narrow gauge railroading in the Sheepscot Valley.
Steve
