Noted April 6, 2022:  

  Kalmbach via the TRAINS.com (NEWSWIRE )

  Has named a new interim Editor to replace Jim Wrinn [R.I.P] who passed this week..

FTA:" ...WAUKESHA, Wis. — Kevin P. Keefe has been named Trains magazine’s Interim Editor, effective immediately.    Mr. Keefe returns to Trains for a third stint as editor, having first held the post from 1992 to 2000, and for a brief time in 2004 while he was serving as the magazine’s publisher. He is expected to remain in his new position until Kalmbach Media names a permanent successor to the late Jim Wrinn, who died March 30.

Keefe worked at Kalmbach 1974-76 as a copy writer in the sales department. He left that job to resume his newspaper career and worked at the Milwaukee Sentinel 1980-1987 before returning to Kalmbach as Trains’ associate editor. He succeeded the late J. David Ingles as editor in 1992 and was promoted to associate publisher in 2000, then later publisher. Keefe went on to become Kalmbach’s vice president-editorial until his retirement in 2016.

Keefe continues to write, edit, and travel for Kalmbach, including his quarterly print column and biweekly “Mileposts” blog for Classic Trains..."

Again, Congratulations to Kevin and we wish him all the continued success...

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

The rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.  Bow
