I think the kickstarter fundraising idea is great and I plan to contribute whatever meager amount I can...I hope some of you might consider doing the same.

I love my Surratt Society board - they just approved a $500 donation to the kickstarter fund.

I have passed the fundraising information on to the executive board of the Surratt Society, and I suspect that they will make a donation to the cause - especially since the funeral train will be one of the topics at the 2015 conference with a presentation by Scott D. Trostel, who authored the book on the subject and is a consultant to this project.
