Subject: Question for Messrs. King and Hamilton - V.L. Minnick

A trip through an old N&W Magazine yesterday brought to memory Mr. V. L. Minnick, who was for decades-on-end Master Mechanic (I think) at Shaffers Crossing.  For a man whom we never saw, his name was certainly ubiquitous.  It was shown on on kinds of shipping and waybilling, and carloads of material were waybilled to "V.L. Minnick, Shaffers Crossing."  One could not walk around the Shop Track or the Round House without seeing his name stenciled on something.



It occurs to me that Mr. Hamilton and Mr. King would have known him, so can one of you please provide some details?  What was his first name, where was his office at Shaffers Crossing, and what was his work history?
