July 13, 2002 Work Party

Inside the diner, members of the work party outlined tasks to be done.  One of the first steps is a detailed cleaning of all the cars.

All of the drapes in diner pictured here have been removed for cleaning and repair as necessary.   From left to right, Therese Suzuki, Charles Hogan, John Hines with back to camera, Dean Parrott and Bill Hockensmith.
