[Steam-engine] boiler plumbing question-

[Jeff Smith]

Murry did Keith Mason's stuff this year and I was
shocked to hear that he did the inspections.  I
thought that he was retired also, but my dad said it
was Murry and both him and Keith were also caught off
guard.

He was kind of funny as an inspector, he would inspect
Tommy Skagg's small train, and after the inspection he
would make up some reason to steam it up.  Tommy told
me it was funny one time because he said he needed a
picture for some reason, and the picture was really of
him in front of the engine blowing the whistle.  Just
to have a few new guys like that.
