N&W.In that display the front page of The Bristol Hearld Courier has a
picture of him after he drove the last steam engine from Roanoke to
Bristol.Any questions please contact me at this email or phone

born and raised in Abingdon,Va.The baby of 10 children.8 boys and 2 girls.I
am a resident of Henrico living here since 1964.Sincerely,Dr.Sam E.
