Peter G. Todd

August 21, 1939 – September 9, 2008
‘Flagship of our Fleet’
One-term President and three-term V.P. of the Genesee ‘G’ Gauge Railway Society.
Creative guru for virtually everything our club has ever undertaken.
Always anxious to be actively involved in it ALL—including the mundane...
Thank you, Peter, for caring so much about your club,
But most especially, thank you for caring so much about us all, as friends.
We will miss your kindness and devotion.
Godspeed, ‘Mister Todd’
