seeking help with a new book

[NW Mailing List]

Hello all,

I have recently joined your list-serve.  I am a writer based in 
Blacksburg, Virginia.  I am in the planning stage for a new book to 
be called Chasing the Powhatan Arrow.  This will be a compilation of 
experiences of my own and the people I meet as I retrace the path of 
N&W's famous line from Norfolk to Cincinnati.

I am looking for people who have had associations with the train -- 
engineers, porters, stationmasters, machinists, and passengers -- who 
would be willing to share their stories with me for inclusion in the 
book.  Ideally, I would like to find people who still live near the corridor.

If you are interested or know anyone who might be, please let me know 
by phone (540-392-1119) or email <bikemike at nrvunwired.net>.  I would 
be happy to send upon request a position paper more fully explaining 
my goal for the book.  Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
Michael Abraham
