Norris became Blue Ridge Chapter's first chairman of the Virginia Rail Heritage Region Partners, a position which he still held. Norris WAS Lynchburg Railroad Day! There were many others involved in pulling off this event every year...but if it wasn't for Norris, Blue Ridge Chapter's involvement in the annual event would have never happened. Norris will be greatly missed.
