Our friend JJ is hooking up cars in that RxR in the sky. He left this life this week.

I had an intimate relationship with this fine man for the past dozen years.
One of his hobbies was operating trolley cars at Branford, CT where he was my instructor when I first arrived there.

His wife & bunch of us would typically dine togather after a days "work" on the RxR.

RIP my friend.

While I never met Mr. Earl, nor ever corresponded with him, I've seen him very well regarded by those posters who did know him. so well, that I consider it appropriate to remark that we've lost a true gentleman.
