- Go to REPOST ...One Of My Dad's Childhood Stories
Thanks--I sure enjoyed this post. Imagining your dad's story brought back my own childhood in a flash. Are people less friendly now, more stifflingly politically correct and unforgivably paranoid about safety? I have a feeling that daring, in its many forms, has been only beneficial for society . . . AND any time I hear a train whistle it is music and fond memories to my own ears--even as I remember walking right beside a swaying train hurrying on its clicking track filled with corn from the small town grain elevator.

hazel st. cricket
b Your father’s story turns out light. However things go wrong for a boy with a train in the film Stand By Me based on Stephen King’s novella The Body and in this neighborhood. Before I moved here my college buddy’s kid brother was run down dead, playing on the very train tracks right around the corner love. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst
