Re: [BRHSlist] Power Cars

["Ray Bedard" <tczephyr@h...>]

I lived in Berwyn Ill until 1971. Althought back then I didn't realize 
someone today would ask the question, I remember coming home on a double 
decker in the mid to late 60's and seeing the conductor throw a bundle of 
newspapers out the door before I lgot off. At the time I thought, "Newpaper 
boys came a long way for their bikes"!
