The problem with giving credence to Ken's assertions is that ever since the 1960s he's been an absentee member. Member of BAERA, yes, but participant or presence in building the museum and the politics involved therein, no, more like absolutely NO.
>the articles in the assn bulletin, The Review',
All articles by the late, and not lamented by some, Hans E Bordwardt, are little better than the contents of the Congressional Record, long considered a joke and propaganda platform for at least 100 years if not a lot longer.
>that told about the so-called "Gang of Five" who demanded all corporate documents
Which was their legal right under the California Non-Profit Corporation Code, not that this gang of five ever existed in the first place or did what you allege.
>Fred Krock . . . was extremely active in both operations and restoration at RVJ until a year or two ago when differences arose about the operation of a particular interurban train.
Closer to the truth is that he was axed for caving in the front of the 271, and that the power structure, rightly or wrongly, had been searching for an excuse to give him the gate for a long time.
