[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by daveklepper If you are now happily married, Mitch, you deserve a lot of credit. [/quote] Dave, Thanks for your kind words. I met my present wife when I was a trainman on the South Shore and she was a passenger. She was the prettiest girl that rode the trains. She would board at East Chicago. I tried to get her attention but for 2 years she wouldn't speak to me. This is funny because she isn't speaking to me now as I'm in the studio so much lately. I vowed not to date passengers and she had vowed not to date a trainman. One day after returning to a collector's run to take a break from the engineer's extra board, I picked the run that she would ride. I also had shaved off my moustache as an effort to re-group after being in the '93 Pennsy Overhead wreck. That was the trick. I used to always say "Thank you" when I would collect a ticket and this one morning, as usual, I said "Thank-you" to the Lovely Renee' when she handed me her monthly pass. She replied, "You're welcome." And that was it. First a lunch, yahdah yahdah, and we were married a little over a year later. That was a bit over 10 years ago. I point to my children and say they are a direct result of The South Shore Line. Sadly, Renee' also has MS, but her course is not as severe as my first wife's, and modern science has been quite helpfull. Mitch
