Only to three or four of us who had been to school at the Alco plant in Schenectady.  It was kind of an inside joke.  / Ron

Carl Denton's date of death was 07/25/1958.  They lived on the highway just south of the tracks.  His widow Dessie rented rooms to railroaders from out of town. 

Hub Dickerson's exact date of death was 9/17/1951.
