Hi List,

I wish my relatives were still alive, as they would have enjoyed the recent 
postings! One uncle worked at Barber-Greene his entire working life, and was 
proud of it. Another uncle, my Grandfather and even my Dad (for a short time) 
all worked for the CB&Q in Aurora. I remember my uncle's stories about working 
(as a brakeman) on the West Chicago and Batavia/Mooseheart lines on what he 
called "milk runs". This was back in the 1930's and 40's.

Verne Brummel,
Fitchburg,WI
