My monicker "Kippy1040 comes from the nickname my dad gave me when I was a kid. and the 1040 is when i was born, October 1940. I spent 35 years as a piggyback manager, mobile agent, stores agent, and the last 13 years as customer service representative in revenue accounting and retired in February of 2001.
Mili, your dad had to be one tough guy to be a conduc/brakemen
in those days. Remember the center bridge ? 5 railroads crossed underneath that bridge. B&0, Erie, P&le, NYC and the Pennsy. God almighty, the fights that broke out, trying to gain control of the switch. He would have remembered that for sure. Guys in those days didn't care, they would have busted your skull in a heartbeat. Even football coaches were tough in those days. I've seen coaches do worse things to players and never complain. And they talk about Bobby Knight ???? But I guess our society and culture is changing and maybe thats good. Anyway, I come from old school and still have priorities and compassion for others........ when it comes to the Good side of Life. Sorry to longwinded here. "Go BUCKS"
