I went around 1 pm. Got some of Bob Lorenz's pictures. He's selling them all out and never reproducing them again. I also purchased the Toledo and Western book by Wilbur Hague and Kirk Hise. Both authors were there to autograph the book (a nice plus). Kirk Hise and I talked for awhile about the middle grounds and its original structures. Kirk had a nice scrap book with pictures of the old B&O office building in East Toledo before and during its demolishment. Others pictures were of the Walbridge Yard where he worked. Kirk worked for PM in the 1950's, C&O in the 1960's-80's, and then CSX 1980-88.
