"""Very first day working for Commonwealth of PA in March 1946...       
the first night out we spent in a hotel in downtown Pgh.       The other 
3 fellows, one of them my brand new boss,...       I wanted more than 
anything else to go out and take a trolley ride, preferably to 
Charleroi, but was afraid that my new associates would think I was a 
real nut, or worse, would disbelieve the trolley story and conclude that 
I had gone out seeking  _____  companionship!"""

"""P.S.       Judging from a ride I later had on PRCo from Canonsburg, 
where we were working, to Washington, I would say that substitution of 
PCCs for conventional cars to operate at those speeds was a mistake, 
even though the 1700s had supposedly high-speed trucks.       Talk about 
a rolling ride!"""
