From TRN Chair Wayne Davis: "Long time board member Mike Duprey was not only a supportive member of our TRN board, he was a genuine rail advocate who fell in love with our Downeaster service when he became one of our on-board volunteer train hosts. His upbeat attitude, sense of humor and knowledge of train history was enjoyed not only by the passengers but the Amtrak crews as well. To share his love of the train,  he created a special website of Downeaster photos that hundreds of folks have enjoyed for years. http://www.amtrakdowneasterphotos.com/ We'll miss you Mike...Wayne
