The loss of Lynn came as a shock. I have known Lynn ever since 1990 when my wife and my oldest daughter Kari (who was just ten months old at the time) were invited guests aboard the annual River City Roundup Steam Special into Omaha.
I couldn't help but notice that May 10th is just next Monday. I'm sure the Nystroms have been busy all day making arrangements, etc. but wouldn't it be a fitting way to send off Lynn if his funeral could be on May 10th, the annual anniversary of the driving of the golden spike? This day has always seemed so important in UP's scheme of things. I think Lynn would have had a good laugh over it if it could be arranged.
