I am very saddened to hear that Bill Fredrickson died recently. Bill and Shane and Chad were great fellows to work with when they visited Steamtown with the 425 in years past. Our paths continued to cross over the years with Bill always inviting me to Port Clinton for a visit. Sadly, I never took him up . We also shared a fraternal friendship. May he rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon him. Farewell my brother.
Shane and Chad, I hope to see you sometime at trackside. Please know that you are in my prayers.
