At least, he didn't say to "protect" the time slot!

Oh and Pete thanks for being in the front row to remind me of certain things. But this should bring back a whole bucket full of memories. When I called bob chick he said he "would make himself available " for the meeting . How's that for the language coming natural after 30 years of retirement !

Those who attended the BRHS annual meet in Mendota got an insight into BB 50. Here's a bit more. Simply as FYI to let you know we are diligently working.............

Today I met w/ R W Chick, seniority date of 1942 and long time local chairman(griever) for the switchmen in the Aurora terminal. This was the second interview,the last,2 or 3 years ago,was via phone,today we met in person. I don't know who enjoyed the meeting more,but one thing is sure, the BRHS will benefit in BB50 with a real insiders view.

Bob is 91 and dealing with the usual physical difficulties of someone that age but his mind is sharp. As long as I had visuals and talked the language(those who sat thru my long presentation at Mendota know it comes automatically) he answered my questions w/o hesitation and even added more. It was a real pleasure for me to see the smiles that came to his face when I showed him certain things. I gave him a copy of a 1946 switchmans seniority list and he grinned ear to ear.

CVLK when you're ready I have the name of the missing individual and some neat attributes for each man in that drawing.
