[PRCo] Re: Route Knowledge

[Bob Rathke]

I've mentioned this on the list before, but when I was 4-5 years old I
earned money by reciting PRC route numbers and names for family and
neighbors.  Living on the North Side, I observed mostly routes 1-22, and
that was the extent of my recital, but it impressed folks.

How much money are you offering for a recital of routes 1-99, Mark?
