I love American history too, and salute your dad for his hard work in helping to preserve it for future generations.

That's pretty cool. I hit the "thanks" button, make sure you pass that onto your Dad for the good work he's done.

I can say first hand that Val's dad is definitely someone to be admired, and looked up to, for lots of reasons.

His son, not so much

It sounded like they were 1:1

Now I know what the Loco in Loco Vette stands for. He's an heir to a railroad tycoon!

If I ever have the means, I hope that I could find such a great way to help. Nice story.
