Harry:

During the recent NRHS/SRHA mini-con in Winston-Salem, Jim and I had
occasion to compare our respective Bluefield backgrounds. We are BOTH old
enough to appreciate that song. Thanks for the memory!

I'm not sure you were old enough to appreciate
rock and roll music of the late 50s. The ACL's E units
were involved in a phenominal number of grade
crossing collisions and crews named them
for a popular song of the day -- Flying Purple
People-eaters. Harry Bundy
