Monon Time Machine
« on: August 13, 2012, 08:40:00 pm »
In the latest edition of the Hoosier Line, Cecil Smith writes about a time machine and where would you go. There is a photo of the 1947 Exhibition Train at Lacrosse and a youthful Ron Marquardt was there with his Grandpa. After studying the photo in detail, I think the kid in the red circle is Ron, based on the shadows... ;D

Sorry Tom, but I don't remember ever wearing a pair of short pants in my life.  If I was guessing, I think it I'm the kid with his shirt tail hanging out holding the older gentleman's hand, but that's only a guess.  I would have been about eight years old at the time.  Anyway, thanks to my grandpa I was there that day, and another time my dad took me to see the Train of Tomorrow.

If you say so Ron.  I still base my hypothesis on the shadows, for we all know the shadow knows...
