Looks like Kelly Lynch has graduated from a leading volunteer to the first Executive Director of Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society. Congratulations, sir. I am sure it is a good move for the organization. Your organization's news items are always of great things done and smart ideas with lots of potential.

Can't think of a more deserving individual.

Certainly a well deserved promotion for one of the industry's most hard working and talented advocates.

We need 6 more Kelly Lynch's but they're hard to come by.

Here's wishing Kelly every success in his new position.

Onward & Upward. Ross Rowland

Ross - I think your number way too low.

Kelly - I can't think of a better person to be the ED.

Yes, it is great to see Kelly Lynch's dedication and skill recognized but it is also a positive reflection on FWRHS that they see the value of having a paid Executive Director.

The United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey has greatly benefitted by establishing a paid Executive Director position.

Mention of the URHS gets me to thinking of six off the top of my head - Kevin Phalon and Richie King in NJ, Orion Newall-Vuillemot in Connecticut, and Doug, Phil, and Bill in Illinois. I'm sure there are more. The cause is in good hands.
