Walter Grecula was born in Hibbing, Minn., and resided for many years in Seattle, Wash. Walter graduated from Dunwoody College in 1942 before going to work for the Great Northern Railway. He retired from the Burlington Northern in 1984. He was a long-time member of the Great Northern Railway Historical Society, the Pacific Northwest Post Card Club and Pacesetters.
Wade Griffis was a member of the Friends of the Burlington Northern Railroad, an active supporter of The BN Expediter magazine, and a Burlington Northern modeler, with a large layout in his basement (see it in the October 2006 issue of The BN Expediter). He had a very large collection is still in work by the Friends of the Burlington Nothern. Unfortunately he did not label his photos very well, so in many cases we don’t know the location and sometimes not even the date. His collection was donated by his wife.
