I worked for the Reading RR and occasionally worked with Newt in the Coatesville yard. My step-father Ted Hawk was also a conductor and, if I remember correctly, years ago we rented a place from Newt on State Hill for a while. He was a such a kind man. Wishing Newt's family peace and strength during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you all.
