Tanqueray and chronic.

Wonder if they pointed out the bullet holes on the west wall? John King was nearby when they shot the place up in the early 1970's. Or was it George Bocquin? I don't remember.
I worked there many a day -and night. Danny Kirk was my boss and I would've gone to hell for him if he'd said so. Sonny Baker, Oscar, Juggernot, Caddillac Cal & Amazin Grace, Dennis ("I'll kick your ass!") Thompson, gone, Sonny Sal Vega (killed by a train near Emporia), Larry Ellison, now gone and Jeraldo Hawks -the best hogger there ever was, still lives here in town. Jesse Gaddy -and Conductor Jack Valcour who died in the Lawrence yards, run over by a kicked boxcar, # ATSF 525610. Some things you just do not forget. I loved this place and I still do. Every now and then I'll stop by the depot and go down to the yards. The memories -and the ghosts still come out.

I came to confirm the coordinates; I sent a letter to the air guard suggesting they use this building for target practice.

I see commuter train service on the horizon. In fact I favor spending the $200 million SLT dollars on establishing commuter train service. It would be by far the best bang for the tax buck thus worth pursuing.
