About 1957 or 1958 I bought my first antique rifle from him. Egyptian rolling block for the $9.95 and it was delivered Railroad Express! That seems like a different century, well, I guess it was. Never shot it because I didn’t have any ammunition, but I did treasure it and sure wish I had it back!

While in the back area of the depot I well remember being fascinated watching the telegraph operator keying in his code (we ranched outside a small town). He was sending messages as easily as I am typing this. All gone now……progress?
