Bruce Meyer

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

In line with Dave's comments about Bruce Meyer  -

He was one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet, and the most helpful. 
When I was doing the first edition of the book on the A, he combed his files 
and found several super views that appeared in the book.

He will be greatly missed, as will Don Wood, who passed away a few days 
earlier.  Wood was noted for his photography of the PRR and other eastern 
roads.
