Where do you get this stuff, Allen?

JDE

It's not what you know but rather who you know, huh AM??

If you don't know the clerk on duty then it's time for a dive into the dumpster next to the office!

Gotta be quite a few names on here you recognize, John...

I recognize 15 names Allen, and one of them was a PE Conductor.....

I recognize all the names except Binion Jr. and Garrison. Are you sure that the last engineer's name isn't Bigby instead of Begly. Otherwise I don't recognize that name either.

Garrison was a brakeman on the LA division, John. If I remember correctly, he had a relative that was an officer. He used to brake for me on the old SP Pomona job. Quite the character too.

Thanks, LV. For a while I was thinking of Bob Gueren, not Garrison.

Loop and I are planning on being in SLO on the 4th.

Printout does show P.L. Begly, John.

Won't be at the BBQ either. My girlfriends birthday in on the 3rd and I'll still be down in Orange County.
