visitors.
Sunday (12/20)
This was the last day for the tinsel trolley and it turned out to the busiest
of the four. I was Dispatcher with Carl Thistel, David Baynes, Dan Lawrence,
Andy Blumberg, Berni Sachs, Sharon Higgins and John Diefenbach as crew. Rick
Williams and Michele Lawrence kept an eye on the refreshments and read
stories, Sandy Thillman and Rosalie Falter were the cashiers, Justin Thillman
gave car house tours, Mark Hurley and John Terwilliger played the organ. We
also had the pleasure of the Kenwood Sr. High School band, directed by Pamala
Mc Cracken playing during the afternoon and a Barber Shop group singing on the
cars. Jessica Blumber and friends helped Santa on the cars with Robert Doster
and Ed Amrhein at 22nd street shop. It was a fun day.
I am sure I missed mentioning some people who have helped during the last two
weeks, my sincere apologies. Thanks to all who have helped to make this
another great event.
Happy Holidays!
