hey scott i think you are doing a great job posting those old trucks from pa, nj, ny or whereever you wish to.

i will say this for you and anyone else who has become frustrated with the way the group and some comments made by some of our members. the easiest route in life a person can take is go the low road and bow to pressure from the detractors and let them win and quit and the hardest route in life is to take the high road

and let the detractors be damned and in the true spirit of amerca do what you want to do when and how you

want to do it. take the high road scott, george, and whoever else has had problems here. if you persevere

then the detractors will soon go away. as for me i sitll have not figured out after a year how to post any of

my pictures but still i am here to enjoy the photos of all of the members of our group who do take the time

and effort to do so. if someone makes a mistake in their notes, makes typos, or does not get any information

at all about any apparatus picture they take so be it and just enjoy the picture and make your own 1,000 words about it. keep up the good work everyone. tom

Scott, like I told you a few weeks back, I as well love to see your posts. You helped me out huge with the photo of my Lancaster Ward that I had been looking for for some time, and like I said, I don't know how to thank you.



As for not posting as much as you or others, I wish I could. As someone else stated, I was also born 20 years too late and don't have the great shots that you, the Commish, and others that have been around when apparatus was apparatus. I'll post crappy pictures that I have all day long if that is what people want to see.



I hope you don't leave, I look forward to your shots.
