JOE, How is the work coming on the stock pens? Looking forward to your daily reports. Thanks Fred L. Kuhns

This is Ed. Len got all holes dug during A and is now planting posts. We need more poles so John Engs is departing Antonito for Chama early Wed to arrange for more. Quality Lumber should have the fencing lumber finished by about 1:00 -2:00.Bob Reib is the designated "mule" driving back and forth daily with supplies - some of which always seem to be at the other end of the line! Today he tested the newly installed rebuilt ford drive train hauling a gooseneck trailer (borrowed) from Antonito to Chama in preparation for hauling the John Deere to Osier for C & D when we will be setting standards for the new interpretative signage.

Looks like the Friends are having a 'how to wear plaid shirts to work' seminar.

Ed, Thanks for the up date on the stock pens progress. Hope the weather hold in Antonito so the paint crew will be able to finish all the cars that need painting. What type of metal is needed for the drop-bottom gondola? Hope all the siding for the Osier project was primed looking forward to June.
