My wife and I live in Independence, Mo. I was a truck driver for many years and now drive a school bus. Kind of like being semi-retired. I love it. I'm also a part-time musician. Play alot of music in coffeehouses, bars, and anywhere else they won't arrest me. I've been fasicinated with trains since I was a kid. My dad worked for The Kansas City Southern Railroad for forty-six years. We took many trips on trains. Most of them on The KCS's Southern Bell, or The Santa Fe's El Capitan.
