Thread Name: Bobert's Entombed Train Story (100% factual)
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert's Last New Story for 2011...
Thank you for posting a link to the book, Pete... I'll guarantee that you'll love the story... I'm still somewhat curious to read how Walter handled the "memorial"... I might be able to add some stuff that he doesn't know since I did the organizing...
Couple footnotes:
1. We set out a large sketch book and asked people to sign it with their addresses and I guess about 80 people signed it... I guess I need to send a copy to Walter...
2. Seems that there is a movement going on in Richmond to do a dig... My idea is somewhat different... Seeing as the train is only about 200-300 feet from the western portal and there isn't anything left on the side of the hill under Jefferson Park I think that going in from the side of Church Hill would be really cool and only uncover half of the train so that folks could walk into a pedestrian tunnel and see half of it from the side...
3. I will make an attempt to find a clean recording of the song I wrote and see about reproducing a small number of them for anyone who get's "bit" by the stroy...
