The
centerpiece of John's vast collection. His copy of the book
All Aboard America signed by many of the AFT crew in 1975-76
and then by former President Ford just after the turn of the
century. John sent the book to his assistant hoping Ford would
sign it. He did -- on the page with the photo of him dedicating
the AFT from the observation car of the Preamble Express in
Alexandria, VA Dec. 19, 1974.
