**Bernie’s Notes**

It’s been over two years since my last fund drive for the TCN. It was June 1998 when TCN had its start. Lots of transportation news has happened in those 27 years and it’s been my honor to bring you the stories and, I hope, contribute to improving the transportation world. If you are interested in supporting the TCN, I welcome your contributions. You can contribute via Venmo (Bernie-Wagenblast) or PayPal (@TransportComm) or by the postal service at the address at the bottom. Thank you!
