That would have been a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September 1948. I have vague memories of standing in that line. It would have been the opening weeks of 3rd grade at Universal elementary school in Penn Township but I have no memories of escaping from classes. Funny that I have no memories of 1st, 2nd or 3rd grades but all sorts of memories beginning in 4th grade after we moved. I cannot even remember the teachers' names in Pittsburgh, but I can remember all of them starting in 4th grade.<br>> <br>> I remember cases of documents on the train but I have no really important impressions about what those documents were. My mother probably was much more stimulated by them. But I did understand, even then, that Alco and GE built the diesel. Shows what I cared about. Takes some of us a while to wake up, eh? <br>> <br>> Do you think it might have something to do with the fact that the Reading railroad ran steam engines a block from my school in Lititz in the 4th grade? <br>> <br>> And Universal, all I can remember was the freaking cement dust from the factory down at the bottom of the hill. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> On Jun 30, 2014, at 12:36 PM, Lattner, Raymond wrote:<br>> <br>> > FYI.
