Re: (erielack) EL, then and now...



So in effect the P Morris turn was a latter-day P'burger originating at 
Croxton. It didn't appear in Bob Malioski's five day Croxton list from early 
Dec 1975 which included a weekend (in an old Diamond). It will be a good way 
to adda some variaion to your operating sessions.
