Team Leader Don Bayer, heading up the restoration of RPO 54, concluded this week's work session by giving a Certificate of Appreciation to the Friends' youngest volunteer - Evan Martinez - who truly performed exceptionally all week! Evan is the son of Roberta and Ray Martinez, so his railroad lineage is unquestioned!
Congratulations to Evan - a role model for us all!
