It was either after I participated in the Apollo 12 or Apollo 13 missions -- I don't recall which -- I travelled to Tacoma in a Milwaukee Road business car with a letter from the railroad president in my hand -- my purpose to make a detailed traffic study of the Milwaukee's port of Tacoma operations. To my disbelief I discovered that Milwaukee's operation in Tacoma was maybe the most profitable railroad operation on the entire west coast. I have 65 linear feet of books in my personal library, and live 8 miles from a retired railroad president, and have been part of a supreme court case.

Best Regards,
Milwaukee Road Historian
