62 Years Ago Today

What does not Exist Anymore

62 years ago today, a month after I finished the 11th grade, someone who does not exist anymore drove me to a town that does not exist anymore (Howe, Oklahoma) to a gigantic depot that does not exist anymore on a railroad that does not exist anymore (the Rock Island) for me to take a train to carry me part way (to stay overnight with someone who does not exist anymore) so I could take another train to a station that does not exist anymore to take a job that does not exist anymore, that of railroad telegrapher.
