Polyak</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>Here is the second installment of the event this weekend …
almost a hundred images of the truck show on Sunday.<BR><BR>John, I personally
like 88 and 89. Why? Back in 1963 I took a year off from college
to get married and become a daddy. Part of my employment was
working in the dispatch office at Norwalk Truck Lines in Lancaster, some years
before it was merged into Yellow Freight (a subsidiary of Yellow Cab) and that
was then merged into Yellow Roadway Corporation. When things were
light in the office and I didn't have manifests to add up, I would sneak out
into the yard and horse around with the yard jockey, who was nice enough to
let me practice backing trailers into the dock. Yes, I learned to
get them into the dock without side swiping on on either side. And
I once had a chance to drive a rig from Reading to Sunbury and
Williamsport. So that when the state asked if I ever drove a semi,
I said yes, and they gave me a Class A license. I was not
lying. Now I would have to go to school. Oh well. Why
did I like 88 and 89? Because Norwalk had a huge fleet of those
Mack Thermodyne tractors. That is what I learned on.
<BR><BR>For those who don't get it? It's a man's thing, like crazy
nuts running trolleys or buses in a museum. <BR><BR><A
