RE: On the Tarbell Trail
Joe,
Not really, but there is a story behind it. When I was a little boy, I wanted a train set. My mother, who after my father died was left with four children to raise on her own, barely had enough money to pay bills let alone splurge on a train set. She liked to do ceramics, and made that train set for me one Christmas. On the side is says "RW Railroad." Unfortunately, I lost one of the pieces in a move, and they have chipped a bit, so I keep them on my desk to protect them, plus to remind me of one of the greatest women I've ever known. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
