John,

It is wonderful to hear that you have manged to line up Bill Greenwood to speak during one of the nightly events. I had the great pleasure of meeting him two years ago in Atlanta during Intermodal Expo at a banquet hosted by Amtrak's Mail & Express group. It was insightful hearing him discuss the industry during diner then. I was re-introduced to him at the 2000 RPCA convention in Chicago as Kathy Louth and Ed Ellis managed to get him as the keynote speaker for that banquet. For those who have not heard him speak, they are in for a treat from someone who would be good medicine for big railroading, especially the NS.

Mike

Do you know what dates Doyle McCormack and his crew will be speaking?

I can't tell you if they will be speaking on the 4449 trips or not. Those are in late May and early June.

I can tell you that we are very proud of the committments we have for the Homecoming Excursion of the SP&S 700. Both Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Goodheart are excellent speakers and have many different comments to make about their interests in the railroad industry - both from the corporate and railfan side. Hope you can make part or all of the trip and hear for yourself.
Yours,
John Cox
