Very nice Wanswheel.  Refreshing as opposed to all the venom.

Excerpt from Fortune magazine: Harrison's father, Ewing Hunter Harrison Jr., [1920-1976] nicknamed “Tank,” was a Memphis police officer who retired to become a traveling preacher. He had pitched in the minor leagues as a teenager before being shot in his throwing arm in World War II. Like his dad, Ewing Hunter III was an outstanding athlete.

Harrison's sister on the right, Rev. Diane Harrison

Well, admittedly fiberglass or something like it, but hey! it's the idea that counts.  He just didn't get around to painting them blue and yellow and changing the lettering to CSX yet...

Suspect he treated his farm animals better than the employees of the railroads that had him as their top official.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Very true, but even on this thread, snakes lurk.
