113 Larry A. FredeenAs the last example of this kind of industry in the area, it deserves recognition. I believe that the Tribe would benefit from a historic site re-created on the property they now own. Casinos, Hotels, parking structures are not unique. A narrow gauge logging operation that existed there, would be. As the Tribe looks to their future, they would also be preserving and honoring the past by being a part of this museum project. That is a very noble undertaking, and I sincerely hope they fully partisapate in bringing it to fruitition.

118 Jay D. BaileySurely at this late date everyone recognizes the irreplaceable nature of any and all structures and equipment of the late great West Side Lumber Co. I, for one, will do anything within my capacity to help save this treasure for future generations to enjoy!
119 Michael AmrinePlease preserve this historic railroad as the whole face of railroad history will change without the West-Side. I am in full support of the preservation work and hope you can come to terms with the tribe that will benefit the WS and the golf course. Although I am not in support of another Golf course, but mediation and compromise work best in these situations.
120 Charles J. BoodroI believe in progress but not at the expense of our historic past. It appears that both the new complex can be built while preserving the West Side. Please keep this part of ou past alive.

125 Will ChampionThe westside is something worth preserving for generations to come.
126 AnonymousOnce history is lost, it can never be resurrected. An opportunity to retain a snapshot of the past is possible, do the right thing.

128 Bill BarbeThis is too historic to end up as a country club.
129 chris starkThanks for your effort in preserving whats left of the WS
130 Russell MillerLove the West Side Area. Save whats left of the Last of the 3-foot logger.
131 George E. HokeThe West Side Lumber Company was an important part of the community of Tuolumne and should be commemorated. Also needing to be remembered were the hundreds of hard working men who worked in the woods and mills.
132 james hagenIve been following the westside story through many sources over the years and iam 67 now. So glad to hear that an effort is underway to preserve that history by saving relavent artifacts.

135 Thomas LapointeAlthough I have never been to the area of the former West Side Lumber Company, if ever in that area, I would make it a point to visit an operating rail museum. I hope the Me-Wuk Indian tribe would allow such an attraction to co-exist with their planned casino & hotel; I think they would find it would draw even more people to the area.

137 AnonymousI certainly endorse your efforts to preserve a working part of your American Heritage. I have been involved in the preservation movement, both railroads and buses, for the last 50 years. I still work as a volunteer on my local steam Heritage Line. I have a garden railroad which is loosely based on the Colorado ng lines which fortunately some parts still exist. In fact a UK buddy recently rode on the Cripple Creek railroad. I doubt if I will ever ride on your line; but if you are sucessful thousands will. Sadly many folk don't value their heritage until it has gone - then by which time it is too late. Best wishes Michael and may God be with you and bless America.
138 Robert MartinWe need to save as much of our history as possible!

141 tom gregoryI think there are many others who can say what needs to be said much better than I, so I just will say Ditto!

144 Barry McClellandThis would be a place I would go to to enjoy the history! I have a book on the West Side and always enjoy looking at it.
145 Edward RichardsThis is an important part of California's history. I urge all governing bodies to preserve the WSLC for future generations to see.
146 AnonymousSave History !!!!
147 Clem O'JevichIt will be great to save what evere we can of the mill site.
148 Pete Evans
149 William F. GrafAs a resident of California I think too much of our history has already been "bulldozed" to provide "playgrounds" for the rich. The Westside Lumber Co. is California history and should be preserved for all -- it might even be profitable since average people could come and enjoy it.
