The Empire Builder has a special wine and cheese tasting event. Then what is the picture all about?
Well, this event was a chance to meet yet another couple of people.
David and Shirley are from Rockford, Illinois. We first met them some hours earlier as we told them about Miss Oliver (see memorable characters section). David accosted us at Minot station and asked if he could take a photo of us. We said yes as he explained he rarely met English people.
They were the most wonderful, interesting, delightful companions who kind of spoiled us for everyone afterwards. Even now we are kicking ourselves for not swapping emails or something before they got off at East Glacier early in the morning.
David is a retired Presbyterian pastor and he is the gentleman wearing the blue hat in the middle of the picture.
If you know anyone in Rockford who might know them, aim them at this blog!
