Inspired by many phone conversations with Lois’s sister Merle, Charlotte Endorf felt a need to go to NYC to be able to see what the city is like today. When Merle passed away, Endorf traveled via Amtrak to Colorado for her funeral. She experienced much nicer conditions than the orphans would have, yet was able to realize why many didn’t remember such of the train ride. Even the most excited were probably lulled to sleep by the movement of the train. Riding in the dark, a passenger can see virtually nothing outside the train except blackness.
