Comment: I wanted to say thank you for putting on one of the best run community events I have ever attended. My wife and I had a great time and are wondering what took us so long to make it to the derby. Let me know if you are interested in the pictures. And again, thanks for the hospitality and the great event. We will be there next year.

Comment: I am a train buff and thoroughly enjoyed the train. Checked out the other web site and wish I could attend some of your community's events. But I live in Enterprise, Alabama. I am living in a retirement village and afraid there is not enough left at the end of the month for a trip. Keep up the good work.

Comment: Hi,  My name is Ms. Gerry Wieding and I live in Round Rock, Texas. My nephew, who lives in Arizona, sent this e-mail to me about the train poem. That was awesome. I loved it also true...a good reminder to keep having. This is a keeper so I can hear it again and again.

I enjoyed your site. I love all the music. I am a music lover, especially country and old gospel and the new praise and worship music. God's blessings to you in Lind and to everyone there. It sounds like a neat town. I would love to meet the people.

Round Rock used to be a small town, but the last 10 years it has boomed. I still like it very much. It has kept the small town atmosphere and spirit. It is just north of Austin, TX...the capitol. It is very different than Austin though. Thanks again. Gerry

I have been a Lions Member for 17 years and am a retired Educator/Social Service Worker. I retired in 1997 and moved to Florida with my wife and handicapped daughter.

Comment: Hi from Oz.  Received an email with the Train of Life and, of course, opened it. Then spent nearly 2 hours browsing the Lind site. What a lovely place it looks. I love the clock which follows my mouse around and its in my local time and date, too. I also live in what was once a small country town, Beenleigh in Queensland, Australia. When I first came here in 1970 there were 3 - 4 main streets, with old Queenslander homes. Now we take up about 10 square miles and still going. I used to sit in my office and say g'day to everyone who passed by because I knew them. Now I would not know 1 in 50. We are situated about 40 klm from Brisbane one way and 20klm from Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. Type "Beenleigh Historical Village" in Google search and come have a look at our past.

Our son is a locomotive engineer, drives trains through the Rocky Mountains from Calgary, Alberta to Banff, Alberta for Canadian Pacific Railway. I sent him and his wife Train of Life and they loved it.

I also clicked on the little dice at the end and saw all the activities up in your area. I live very near Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I live quite a few miles from Washington, but I was so pleased to have this information anyway.  Good luck and enjoy all the upcoming fun days in Lind.

Comment: Thanks for your time and effort for this enjoyable experience. The Train...my daughter says "All Aboard" when leaving the house and the little one, early on knew it was time to leave...it always made leaving the house an adventure. Now, little one is 2-1/2. When Mom says ALL ABOARD now, Mia says "come on Granny, the train's leaving the station." And off we go on another adventure, strapped to the front of the engine!!!. Need I say more, but Thank You.

I worked for 15 years for AOL as a beta tester and tested many of the programs used today on all our PC's, but this is very impressive. Thank you again.

Comment: Hello Lind, Washington
Must take the time and say CONGRATULATIONS on a superb website. Whoever is the webmaster has put their heart and soul into its creation --- looking it over makes me say, "I would like to visit Lind, WA and that is a good possibility since if live in Vancouver, B.C.

Thank you for including the Train of Life on the site...it was sent to me by email and I found it the best inspirational piece I have read in a long time...we receive so much 'stuff' sent along on email, but this is a beauty. As well the music is uplifting....I note it is "Wabash Cannonball" but do you happen to know whose version it is....would be interesting to also give them credit.

The best wishes to Lind and hope to visit your town one day.

Comment: You have a very interesting site.  As an engineer on the former Conrail system for twenty engineer, I am writing you today to let you know that trains cannot be driven...there are no steering wheels. An engineer RUNS the locomotive, which in turn hauls the train. I just thought you might be interested in knowing this as you see this phrase other places you will think of my note to you.

It is RUN the train instead of DRIVE the train...make sense?

By the way, your site is wonderful. Keep up the good work.

I love the Train email. I am one of those 73 year olds that try to run the train or at least ride in front. My 75 year old friend, widows we are, and our dogs have covered Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and most of the States in my 2000 Honda Odyssey. What a wonderful time we have had and met the most unique and helpful people. Why anyone would want to travel foreign is beyond me. After this trip, we have 4 states yet to visit. Looking forward to our trip to Lind. You people must come to Texas.

This train story really got me to thinking about look ahead and not being so sad. I will go see her soon. She is in Dallax and I am now in Austin, Texas. I just wanted you to know of some good besides joy you are responsible for. I will rest on that email. Thank you.

     We especially enjoy looking back on the pictures of the parades and the derby. It is great for our family to e able to view our kids and grandkids participating in Lind's local events. Especially when they cannot be there with us to attend.
     Mitch and I check the site regularly to see what is new and happening in our town. We have received nothing by positive feedback from our family and friends that have viewed the site.
     Keep up the great work and know that your time and effort is very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
