RACHEL PIPKIN
Rachel Pipkin was a long time member of the Gulf Coast Chapter and devoted an enormous amount of time and energy to the mission of the organization. She shared our passion for railroading during her active years and before her death in 2009 at the age of 100 she arranged for a major bequest to the Chapter. Prior to her passing, the Chapter had named its volunteer of the year award after Rachel. The positive legacy of her friendship, energy and numerous contributions will sustain the Chapter into the future.
