[QUOTE="texan, post: 1193148, member: 38206"] [B]I did not not know where to put it..... My mothers side of the family were life long Union Members and worked at the the PA Railroad. At one time, the PRR was the largest publicly traded corporation in the world, with a budget larger than that of the U.S. government and a workforce of about 250,000 people 65 years on the news. Is that not something? 91-year-old World War II veteran retires after 65 years of working on the railroad This Labor Day, there will be a little less labor for one World War II veteran. Thomas Merrick, 91, who served in the Army's 92nd Infantry between 1942 and 1946, retired Saturday from his job as station superintendent with the New York City transit system after 65 years of service, according to MTA.info. Merrick, who began working as a railroad clerk in the summer of 1948 for 90 cents an hour -- what he calls "a good and decent wage at the time" -- was born in 1921 in Wilmington, N.C.
