Hey Jerry,

I was on the final Drake run of a scheduled PCC back in 1999. I made the 
local news because I came all the way from Nevada.

I rode the car into the yards. Fittingly, it started to rain (actually 
drizzle) as I stood with the car to have my photo taken.

Roger Dupuis and I exited together. Two or three youngsters rode the car 
into the shops, as each of them wanted to be the absolute LAST passenger on 
Pittsburgh's last scheduled PCC.

A slender kid with closely shaven red hair had the honor of being the Steel 
City's final PCC passenger on a scheduled car. He was also on the farewell 
fantrip the following day.
