I didn't know many SP guys in LA but Rest in Peace brother Hubbard. I spent a lot of time in Bishop in my youth as I had family there. Not an easy place to exist with a terminal illness. I hope Rusty is at peace now.

Thanks Paul for the update. Yes you are correct. Great family tradition. Mert, Rusty and Mike.

Don't forget Dennis, the youngest of the three.  He was in train service and passed away some years ago.  I ran into him om #36, the "Desert Wind" one afternoon.  He was en-eoute to Las Vegas to launch a career as a professional gambler.  Don't know how that worked out since I lost contact with him.
