LIRR historian Vincent Seyfried
Photo/Archive: Newsday
A photograph (credit: Newsday) of
the railroad's late historian Vincent Seyfried. Many of us were friends with
Vincent over the years and sadly only a handful of us attended his funeral
in 2012. Of especial interest is the attached "official" copy of a letter to
Vincent back in 1984 when former LIRR president Robin Wilson named him
Historian Emeritus, a title (with lifetime white pass) that Vincent held
until his death. Archive: Richard Make |
