This is a Picture when i was Promoted to General Roadmaster , Idaho Division .1 will share a little Story with You . After i was promted to General Roadmaster , I was told that i was to be the Key Note Speaker at the Rail Road Conference in Chicago,Illinoios. . They were only 2500
People attending the Convention , you can Image how a little boy from idaho felt . It was one of the few times in my life , that I was Scared ) and i mean Realy Scared . on a Quite day , if you Listen very careful you can hear the Echo of my knees Knocking , But when it was over i got a
standing ovation for my talk , and later my speech was published in the Railroad Magazine
my Speech was on Snow Fighting on the Idaho Division with the Wedge Plow and the Rotary
Snow Plow . Each night after Convention was over , our eqipment dealers would take us out the Dinner . On one night , A Equipment Dealer that i happened to know , took 8 of us out to Dinner ,
We had Lobster and Salmon that had been flown in from Alaska , and a lot of Wine , A group
of musians play violins while we are . They realy put a show on, Jokely the Equipment Dealer
gave me the Check which was only $3500.00 , i about fell off my Chair ,
Well this is a little bit about the Good Life of Working on the Railroad
