Yes.  In 1971 Accounting Dept of Chicago Transit Auth. didn't want to hire 
railfans.  Comment made is that they tended to take off for Skokie Shops 
when there was work to be done.  It was hinted that maybe I should be 
talking about employment prospects with Planning Dept., but I didn't 
understand the implications that that was because of Krambles.
