Oops.  I hit the "Send" key before I had my photo file address confirmed.

Please disregard this e-mail.  I'll re-send it to the list  as soon as I
have the dementia photo file addresses from Derrick.

of himself in a remarkable 50 year career of riding trolleys!  From top to
bottom, this sequence of photos shows Fred posed with:

PRC 3756 on the way to Arden on Feb. 7, 1954.  PCC 1714 is on the Drake
loop.

PCC 1724 at the Drake loop on October 10, 1965.  On Sundays, the cars made
alternating trips to Drake and Library, and so this inbound car is signed
Library. A couple of my interior photos of 1724 taken that day are also in
my dementia file.
