QUOTE: Originally posted by Buckeye Riveter Great question!! [:D] Here's the real story about the my forum name Buckeye Riveter and my signiture as you see it here on the forum. [;)] As many of you know I live in Central Ohio, the Buckeye State, near a crossroads that is named Roger's Corners. A small creek runs through Roger's Corners at an elevation of 936 feet. I am a graduate of Purdue University in Civil Engineering and for the last 30 years have been part of the design or construction of many major projects. I actually had a class where I was taught how to design riveted connections. I am a Hoosier by birth, a Boilermaker by the grace of God. In the old days, one of the nicknames for the Purdue sports teams was Riveters. Therefore, combining the Buckeye and the Riveter nicknames became my forum name. The photo that you see with the signature was taken in 1955 with my first electric train, a Marx. I love the photo because it reflects the joy of a young boy with his trains. A joy that has lasted over 45 years. [8D] (The photo makes it very easy to spot one of my replys on a posting.)
