I enjoy the ARROW very much and have seen all the progress to the better.
I have no problem with the quarterly printing and like the heftier mag.

Thank you Ken for really getting to the nuts and bolts of the ARROW.
My story The News is Never Easy was the very first rail fan story I had
written.
I had sat on it for quite a few years before submitting it.
I had submitted quite a few stories to a national mag, and they told me it's
not what we are looking for, but if you have anything else send it in.
I had sent them 20 years of rail fanning. I didn't have anything else.
It was that meeting with the N&W 228 that got me more interested in the
history and not just taking 3/4 views of locomotives.
I enjoy reading anything about the N&W, and have been studying the Peavine
heavily since last year.
I do have some stories in the works, and another project I want to do like
the signals I documented in 2002-2004.
I haven't had much adventure down in the Virginia's, but have friends that
go down to 4 wheel the area, and always try to give a little history of
where they are.
I will get somethings together to send in for a look, and send a story I
wrote after our trip to Green Cove in '98. I had sent it in, but like you
said, things get lost, and there was a change in leadership back then.
Looking forward to reading this issue.
Thanks again to all for a great group, and a great magazine.
