Fwd: Question to the Membership Committee

[NW Mailing List]

>Hello, I live in Arlington, VA and am writing on behalf of a friend 

>of mine, Edith Bell, who used to ride the Northern & Western steam 

>trains in the 1920s, '30s and '40s.

>

>Edith now lives in Centreville, VA, and does not have a computer. 

>She told me about catching the N&W at the Blackstone, VA station 

>when she was a child, so I checked the internet and found your 

>Society. This weekend, I gave her a print out of the information on 

>your website.

>

>Edith said she's thrilled to find your Society and to see the 

>history of the line. She also said she's interested in joining, so 

>you might be receiving her membership via regular mail. I also sent 

>information about the N&WHS to her brother, at her request.

>

>I'm wondering if there are any N&WHS members in the Centreville / 

>Manassas area who might be interested in talking to Edith over the 

>phone (since she doesn't have email)?

>

>Members are welcome to contact me - Edith has given me permission to 

>give them her phone number.

>

>My own volunteer activity is Outreach Coordinator for the 

>International Buster Keaton Society (comedy movies!), so I know how 

>much fun belonging to a group is.

>

>I've also suggested to Edith that she write down her memories of 

>experiences riding the N&W, in case you would want them.

>

>Best wishes to your Society! Hope to hear back from someone soon!
