Lisa, thanks for the kind words. I grew up in Fond du Lac, WI in the '50s, only a few blocks from the old SOO passenger station. The area around the depot consisted of several fuel dealers, both coal and oil, and a large farmer's CO-OP. The local lumber yards were farther up the line. I had three uncles who were dairy farmers, and I spent a good portion of my summers on the farms during the hay, wheat and corn harvest. We'd often have to go into towns similar to those described above for supplies, equipment parts etc. If my cousins and I had been reasonably good, we might even get a glass of pop and a candy bar while my uncle would have a beer or two while waiting for repairs or parts. Ron H.
