Faithful
volunteers, Louis and Edith Logan, have been assisting with mailings and almost
every project since Wabash began the volunteer program. That faithfulness
is confirmed by the longevity of their marriage (53 years). The Logans
have five children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Until
recently, Edie a lover of children, babysat many years for a local church.
After 43 years of working for the Railroad, Louis retired in 1992 - but only
from railroading. With a passion for racing, Louis travels throughout the
United States keeping an eye on the track and his favorite drivers. A
skilled gardener, his tomatoes are a treat appreciated by many. With
attributes common among the Wabash volunteers but rare in today's society, their
cheerful and friendly demeanor remain constant as they help out where ever
needed.
