I’ll never forget the good Demon. He was one of the nicest people I have ever known. I think about him nearly every day.

I think we should dedicate a day to the Demon every year. Perhaps on his birthday? It’s December 7, 1955 by the way.
We could steam engines in his honor. And run some of the accessories that he loved.

Hmmm, Interesting concept Mike.


Demon Day

The Demon Derby

Day of the Demon


Not too sure December 7th would be the very best day to do it however, as that day does have some other less savory connotations associated with it.

I hadn’t thought of that Daniel. Good point though.

Thinking more about it, naw, no problem, the Demon's Birthday would be just fine, or any other day for that matter!
