“The Dinner in the Dark” was produced for Thanksgiving Day broadcast on New Hampshire Public Radio. I am very grateful for the “Dinner in the Dark” Art, done by Kevin Kobasic.

A nice photo of Elizabeth Cotten. I have nearly always lived within a half mile of the old New York Central tracks, and my grandfather worked on the mail car from Cleveland to Chicago for years. Your story was amazing. I am a railroad romantic.
So odd! I am reading John Irving’s “A Prayer for Owen Meany” and John writes a passage about The Flying Yankee.
