Probably fall (November?) 1971, Bill.

Fred Bruhn does not mention Carson St. (so not 53 Carrick (via S. 18th)) nor 
mention of anything else existing when 77/54 still ran in early 60s.

Ah yes, the last month of 44 Knoxville, 49 Beltzhoover and 53 Carrick (which 
operated thru Tunnel on old 47 routing).  Although parents wondered at my 
sanity, glad for the memories of walking these lines that last month to take 
slides.  Wonder if Fred Bruhn and I show up in each others pictures!  It was 
a much different world from the recent end of Drake PCC service.

Thanks for stirring up some old, pleasant memories.

John
