A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....

<snip> have already filled 5 dumpsters of paper off to recycling; equipment to surplus.
Oh. That. At age 78+ it occurs to me that all the precious material I've kept in storage will not likely be used again, let alone be of interest to the new age engineers. On the bright side, more room to store my toy trains.

Cleared out a few shelves of of books from my own library - donated to the county library to sell......

Hard to say.........they are going to re-hire me to work part time, :lol

Did the same thing, except that part time turned into full time pretty quickly. You're warned.

:

They can ask, but that's up to me -- now I can say "No!".

Prediction: you will say no, for a while. But then, like the fire horses of the past, you'll hear the bell ring and rush out to get into harness.

Perhaps, but someone will have to pay. And, my current institution has an agreement of not to exceed 1 year. They will or someone else will have to come to me after a year and it will be my decision. I can make a lot more per hour as an independent consultant,

Drifting back.

Rufus,
I recently saw photos of streets in my hometown that show streetcars and tracks.
Seldom does the overhead wire show in the photos.

Oh, yes. That's what I did. Glorious. Bought every heart's desire loco in sight, plus traveled with my better half. Good times.

The travel is the part I want to do while I'm still healthy enough to go visit all the places I've already been to and only seen the airport, the convention center, and my hotel room.

And the parade goes on.....

Got to love those little umbrellas.....manly!

I thought the knee-length pants on the boys were an interesting detail to note, too.

I also liked those overcoat / dusters the men were wearing in card #1411.....in Sept. Toasty!

You're right about those umbrellas, so very unusual (but what do I know about back then) for men. Do you suppose they were part of their "lodge" insignia, like Shriners' fez-type hats?

For their sake, one hopes so!

One last one from Palmyra.....

I wonder if they had a parade every day?
