[BRHSlist] Picture made his day. . .

["BILL JELINEK" <cbqrr@earthlink.net>]

I work with another engineer, Jay Hunger, who has told me in the past that the 
Burlington (and it's successor) has kept members of his family employed over 
100 years.  He didn't start work for the RR until after the merger, but he did 
work "Q" lines in Wyoming.

I noticed the caption under one of the pictures in the latest BB indicated 
engineer "G. Hunger" was at the controls that summer day in 1940.  So I showed 
him the Bulletin.  Almost instantly an ear-to-ear grin and the words, "My dad's 
Uncle Gerald. . ."

He got a kick out of it.  Really made his day!
