Is this the little train that was running in the late 50's? I remember my grandfather taking me to Pater Pan Park and then for a ride on a little train that ran all through a wooded area.

I seem to recall a Billy Soden that worked in the same buliding with my grandfather. And I think he had a sister named Peg. Guess it must be the same family...

I'm going to have to come back for a visit this summer.

My moms family is from Emporia so I spent a lot of time there. My Grandfather and Grandmother knew the White family and I remember them taking me to Peter Pan Park and telling me all about Mary. I still remember Monkey Island and feeding the ducks.

Was the Rose Bros store a green one story on the North side of the street not too far from State Street? After my grandmother sold her house on Washington she moved to a apartment on State Street. I remember walking to a little neighbourhood store to pick some things up for her.

Wow....I may need a to take a trip back to Emporia. I'm getting overcome with a flood of memories.
