Hi Les
I am busy putting all the info from him into my computer, I will let him know about you and send his address to you as well as yours to him.
I also got a kick out of his work he works for the BNSF in Ft. Worth Tx. I retired Sept. 2004 from the BNSF in Vancouver Wa.and did not know he worked for the BNSF Railroad.
Got to forward another email that was on the rootsweb here on the Shoemakers to my wifes Relative in Kansas it is Possible there is a connection.
