Very best wishes, Ross! Steam on!

Happy Birthday Mr. Rowland! Wishing you good health and happiness!

John

Well, happy birthday, Ross!

Happy Birthday from me, too, Ross!!

Happy Birthday, Ross, and thanks for all those trips.

I certainly rode my share of them!

Phil Mulligan

Happy birthday, Mr. Rowland. :-)

Thanks all for the nice wishes. My thanks also to all the wonderful men & women who have helped me through the years make the many steam adventures successful. Without their hard work none of it would have happened.

Onward & upward. Praise the Lord !!

Ross Rowland

And as many more of them as you wish, I hope. How's you autobiography coming? I would still like to buy an autographed copy.

Thanks Jim for asking. Truth be told I've been real busy trying to line up the corporate co-sponsors needed to make the AFT 2.0 project happen and that has fully occupied my " railroad time".

I've made some meaningful progress lately ( still a long ways to go ) so I think I'll keep at that vs. writing the book.

I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed writing the chapter on the " negatoids" a few of whom are frequent participants on this site. I'm sure you can guess a couple of them without any help.

More soon I hope. Thanks, Ross Rowland

Please keep at it, Ross. While there may be some "negatoids" out there I'm sure they are vastly outnumbered by those of us who support and appreciate all your efforts in promoting mainline steam excursions. Getting to see 614 blast through Rutherford, NJ just 10 minutes from my home, at high speed, is a memory that will last a lifetime.
