Yesterday we were pleased to contact the grandchildren
of John Nolan Jr.

Mr. Nolan was an NC&StL
engineer, who was killed at Dutchman's
Curve.

Mr. Nolan's story is featured in our film, "Dutchman's Curve, Nashville's Story", in the section "Irish on the
railroad". Locating his grandchildren
was a major achievement for the project.
NCPS Vice President Terry Coats provided us with the information that enabled us to contact Denise Nolan and her brother Pat.

The Nolans plan to travel to Nashville to attend the marker dedication. We
look forward to meeting them, and hearing
their stories.
