Hi Web Master:
Bob,Station agent at La Plata told me about your web site yesterday.It is a great site.I was
a bit surprised to see(in the photo of the approach to La Plata)my pick up truck parked by
the station.I didn't realize someone was taking my picture rather than the other way around
which is usually the case).
