Date: 09/29/11 14:13 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: jmw That's terrible.
I've enjoyed his Arizona rail history books for years and always looked forward to a new volume being released. Sad. JMW Date: 09/29/11 14:25 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: cct24 WAF Wrote:

Date: 09/29/11 15:26 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: Josiah The Santa Barbara News Press had an obituary printed from the family Wednesday September 28th. He lived in Santa Barbara and I was lucky enough to hear several of his talks.
Josiah Date: 09/29/11 15:44 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: spnudge Met him in Santa Barb at a cocktail party at my aunts house in 70-71. Nice guy. I talked to him a few times over the years. Too bad.
RIP Nudge Date: 09/29/11 16:23 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: ATSF100WEST A tremendous loss. No one knew Western Railroad History better. He was very generous - in allowing me to "paraphrase" from his "Railroads of New Mexico" book, for my PRN article back in the early 90's.
He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family and friends. R.I.P., Mr. Myrick...... Bob ATSF100WEST......Out Date: 09/29/11 17:06 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: Copy19 His Railroads of Nevada, Vols. I & 2 are among my favorite books. He asked me to help him update a couple of his books. Certainly my honor. JEB
Date: 09/29/11 17:57 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: BobP I have all his Nevada and Eastern California RR books.
A valuable encyclopedia of railroad knowledge that will live on in his name. Date: 09/29/11 19:13 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: billmeeker His monumental works on Western Railroads should be in everyone's library. A tremendous loss. RIP Mr. Myrick.

Chris Date: 09/30/11 00:19 Re: David Myrick passed?? Author: webmaster I sent him a letter in 1995 when I was working on a college project on the Carson and Colorado Railroad. He replied with a multipage manual type written letter addressing each question I had. he also fact checked my findings. An amazing man that I wish I had the opportunity to meet.
