We spent New Year's Eve in Knoxville and enjoyed opening presents with everyone!
Henry had a great start to his new year because of a very special outing arranged by Big Papi. One of his customers, Pete Claussen, is founder and chairman of Gulf & Ohio Railways. Mr. Claussen, who is a bit camera-shy, took us to his facility, where the man pictured (Scott) patiently and kindly talked to Henry about how he restores and builds engines. He answered all of Henry's questions and allowed him to touch the trains. We were so touched and grateful these men came to work on a Saturday morning just to give Henry this special time.
"Wow, look at those pistons!"
Standing on the big diesel with Papi!
Henry loved this little train called Thumper.
One of Henry's favorite parts was moving the switch with Mr. Scott.
Mr. Scott told Henry he was now part of the train crew and gave him the hat that says so.
