"Working On The Railroad" Family Day - Temple, Texas
I am pleased to announce I will be coming back to Temple, Texas on June 7th for the Railroad Family Day. I will be doing a little reading, answering questions and signing my book A Train Of Thought. We will be at the Temple Railroad and Heritage Museum from 11 am until 2 pm. I spent some of the best years of my railroad career in Temple and I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new friends. Spread the word, let's see how many folks we can get into old Santa Fe Depot in Temple, Texas.

The Temple Railroad and Heritage Museum is hosting a “Working on the Railroad” Family Day on Saturday, June 7th from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. From everything to the tools and machinery, to the folks who actually work on the railroad, you’ll get the chance to see some of the things that go into keeping the railroad on track and on time.
