Letter from the Board of Directors
To all of our members, friends, and supporters,
On Thursday, October 18, 2012, the Association lost Dan Lenihan, Editor and RollSign Director. Dan had continuously produced RollSign since 1964, becoming Editor in November of that year. His tenure began when the RollSign was a mimeographed sheet, mailed by volunteers using an Addressograph machine. He left us today’s magazine of New England transit news, produced using the latest software for text and photo editing, commercially printed, and mailed using a computer-generated list by a mailing service.
Dan later joined our Board of Directors as RollSign Director, contributing to the administration of the BSRA and helping shape our future growth while continuing work on current issues of RollSign.
The Board of Directors, officers and members of the Boston Street Railway Association express their deepest and most sincere condolences to Dan’s family, including his wife, Mary-Grace Lenihan, his three surviving children, Maureen, Christine, and Thomas, his bother, John, and his seven grandchildren. Dan was an electrical engineer at Hanscom Air Force Base for many years and retired at the time of his death. He enjoyed ballroom dancing and his life-long interest in mass transit, especially streetcars.
We at the BSRA will miss him greatly.
BSRA Board of Directors
