 Gordon,
Thanks very much for the update on Louis and Sybil. I am pleased to know that they were up to making the move. While their absence here is our great loss, I know his family is grateful that they will be near them. 

Louis has lived an almost unbelievable life. One that most of us can only dream about. And it wasn't luck. Louis has been a hard working, determined man who pursued life with a vengeance. At the same time, he is a true gentleman, and able to balance his passion of work with his family life.
While certainly not as close a friend, as are you Gordon, it has been a pleasure and a privileged to know Louis. I pray the very best for Louis and Sybil with their family and in their new surroundings. I'm just a little bit envious of all the new friends they will make in the coming days. Boy, are those folks in for a real treat!
Jeff Sanders

This past Monday I enjoyed a visit with Sybil and Louis Newton in the lobby of their assisted living condo here in Roanoke.  This get together was also attended by their two daughters and some friends of Sybil and Louis.  The occasion was to wish Sybil and Louis well on their relocation to an assisted living condo in Charlotte, NC, where their two daughters live.  Louis and Sybil left yesterday for their new home in Charlotte.  Many in the NWHS know Louis for his four-volume set of books, Rails Remembered,  largely based on his outstanding career with the N&W, and for his articles in "The Arrow."  He is also remembered for his loyal work at the Roanoke archives until health restrictions dictated otherwise.  I'm sure that others join me in wishing Sybil and Louis the very best in their new home.
 
When I receive their new address, I'll post it here.
 
Gordon Hamilton
