Most importantly to my knowing him was a move our family made during World War II to McAlester, Oklahoma, which was on the M.K.T. line between Denison and points north. Two or three times a week he would bring the Texas Special through McAlester with a brief twenty minute stop. My father and I would walk to the station (about eight blocks or so) for a visit and while he go around oiling the great driving wheels we would share the latest news about family.

Your description has told me a lot more than I knew, but one doesn’t always know what to ask until it’s too late.

Many thanks,
