McKeithan, Kent

Abstract:

Railroading in this case involved Pullman cars. Riding the rails the fashioned way was still possible through the National Railroad Historic Society and smaller model railroad groups. Highlighting the difference of the train experience not by Amtrak were factors involved with steam and coal power locomotives. Illustrating the uniqueness also was a description of a trip starting in Roanoke and ending in Greensboro.

Ray, Don H.

Abstract:

Fashion often comes back around, Ray proved, albeit not through discussing clothing styles. This fashion was a water-borne sport. The appeal of it was asserted through casual attire and inexpensive equipment, an inner tube. Adding to the allure were plenteous places to indulge in the sport, such as Green, Broad, Yadkin, Catawba, and Little Tennessee Rivers.
