@Rich Melvin posted:TexasSP, at the risk of being called a "shameless promoter" I will suggest that if you enjoy my writing, you should get a copy of my book about the 765. There are many other stories about my days with the 765 in the book. Profits from these book sales go to the Fort Wayne RR Historical Society for the on-going upkeep of the 765.
I always enjoyed Paul Harvey. Whether it was, "Paul Harvey ... good day!" or the famous closing line from his Rest of the Story series, "And now you know ... (Long pause here) ...the rest of the story." I always enjoyed listening to him.
Rich, I bought the book a couple of weeks ago and saved it for this last weekend when my wife and I had a getaway weekend in a friend's log cabin. I ended reading the book cover to cover by noon on Sunday. Needless to say, it is an excellent piece of work and just when I thought I had heard and read every tidbit out there about 765, I learned several new things! A truly valuable addition to my railroad library. As for Paul Harvey, not only was a great news man, he was truly a class act and a gentleman and I can't think of anyone currently in the profession that is fit to even be mentioned in the same paragraph with him.
