Mike, my wish is for 765 to go through Allentown again (it went through before a few times on public excursions in 1988) but I won't start up another lengthy post complaining about it. I'll just wait and see what happens next year. I probably wouldn't even be able to make a long distance train excursion this year anyway, because my mom is in poor health, she has breathing issues and lung issues. Her breathing seemed to decline a bit a few days ago. She needs to be on a breathing machine or portable tank. She needs all the prayer she can get. I live with my mom, as well as my younger brother, and my mom's man friend of 20 years (my father passed away March 8, 1986). I have mild autism and don't drive. My brother doesn't, either. So, I'm dependent on my mom or her man friend to take us to train excursions. And my mom is afraid to let us travel far away by ourselves.
I'll say a prayer for your mom, Robert. You sound like a good and devoted son.
I hope you get your wish to see 765 back in the Allentown area.
