On the Tarbell Trail

[Joe Di Cola]

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

Rob,

Those kinds of "treasures" are priceless. I have things like that on my library shelves that keep my parents alive to me every day. Thanks for sharing.
