Any more details, Otto?

Sad news indeed. Harold was a wealth of information on the NYC and had quite a list of old "war stories" about the steam and early diesel days. He put in some long hard hours trying to get some geeps up and running for me many years ago, at no charge other than his motel, meals, and the joy of being able to get his hands dirty. A lot of knowledge and experience, a sense of humor, and a heart of gold.

I'll make sure to post anything else I learn about memorials, etc., as soon as I get them.
