Feature Picture this month submitted by August Staebler




Picture was taken on July 12, 1978 at the home of Bill Savage during a train group’s meeting in his train room. I believe that Jeff Perry is the only person that is still living.
Of the people pictured Chester Holley, Stan Parker, Jeff Perry, Ted Richman, Bill Savage and Randy Stevens were affiliated with the TCA.

Front Row - Col. Frank Barchard, Chester Holley, Jim Herron and Les Wilbert.
Second row – Stan Parker, Frank Pollock, and Earl Wencel.
Back row – Jeff Perry, Ted Richman, Bill Savage and Randy Stevens.

Have something of interest? This section is updated monthly and
we are looking for not just pictures but the story behind them.
