[milwaukee-electric] Re: Name of the Milwaukee Train Station During 1969

I remember the airport on the north side which I think was at 
Hopkins.  Dad took me to see the new huge airplane.  It was a Ford 
Tri-motor.  I don't think was really new since there were Douglas 
DC-1 in 1933 and the Fords were built in 1927 and later.
I was pretty young at the time and I wasn't doing History stuff yet.
