What does not Exist Any More
68 years ago today, a month after I finished the 11th grade, someone who is not alive any more drove me to a town that does not exist any more (Howe, Oklahoma) to a gigantic depot that does not exist any more on a railroad that does not exist any more (the Rock Island) for me to take a train to carry me part way (to stay overnight with someone who was killed in 1958) so I could take another train to a station that does not exist any more to take a job that does not exist any more, my first dead-end job, that of railroad telegrapher.
