Hey Jerry:

You happy with what you stirred up?   You understand that John works  
for PennDOT and has been very close to the scene of the crime since  
about 1971 or 1972.   I worked in federal (army), local (teaching)  
and state (labor and industry) government for 36 years starting in  
1958.   The two of us happy clowns know how it functions and we  
sometimes play good cop, bad cop with each other on the list.

John has forgotten more than I'll ever know about the inner workings  
of the agencies in Pennsylvania and I still know one hell of a lot of  
history.  John is the guy who processes the checks for the senior  
citizen subsidies to all the transit agencies in the state.  John  
also understands the federal government.   He is a served over 20  
years in the marines and army reserves and retired after Desert Storm  
with the grade of Major.   But John never blows his own horn.

I understand that when one of the upper echelon people from PennDOT  
showed up at PTM a month or so ago, he saw John and went through that  
same problem I have ... I know this guy from somewhere but he isn't  
where he is supposed to be so I can't recognize him.   Then it dawned  
on him that the motorman was one of his own employees from  
Harrisburg.   Did I get that story right, John?
