Please do. It would be great to get together again!

On August 23, 1969, I boarded a TWA stretch 707 charter and we took off from Ton Son Hut Airbase in Saigon headed for Travis AFB at 5:35 pm. with fueling stops in Guam and Honolulu. When we arrived in Honolulu, we were advised that there would be a 4 hour layover for a mandatory crew rest...

Asheville is really nice with a lot of attractions. Biltmore, Black Mountain etc. It’s about 11/2 hrs from Greenville so, you could always come to Greenville, stay with us, and go to visit Asheville us! Maybe a mini gathering!

Great report. So if Amtrak really cared, they would know this and do the necessary to see that these issues were corrected!

The timing and lateness of the Crescent at Greenville SC has made train travel totally impractical. Not only are departures at bad times but the arrivals wherever you are going are now also inconvenient! The mess in Alabama needs to be cleaned up and the schedule revised so Atlanta and...

That happened to me once in Aspen. I had a reservation at the Four Seasons but had no rooms when I got there. They got me a suite at the “Little Nell” just down the street at $99 a night! Quite a deal at a really upscale boutique hotel with a view of the slopes.

It’s a Seinfeld episode: You are good making reservations but not keeping reservations!

As long as people are involved in the administration of any justice system, there will never be perfect results. I didn’t understand the sentence in the truck driver case either. A sentence of 110 years is on its face, ridiculous. Further, guilt in fact persons who are acquitted or otherwise...

Under our law, a person is presumed innocent until found guilty by a jury of one’s peers and has the right to remain silent and not be forced to testify against oneself. The burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt is on the prosecution. These rights of the people are very important and we’re...

I was told by crew members (prior to Covid) that they consider 2 hrs late as being on time. Your report confirms this.

As usual your reports are so good. I look forward to your report on the TSR. I’ve watched several YouTube videos on it & it would definitely be a “bucket list” for me but only now possible enjoying others reports and pictures! I would say that one of the things I like best about Greenville is...

Patty: You didn’t mention the kind of mask you are using. Rather than double masking with an ordinary mask, use an N95. You can obtain them in the paint section of Home Depot or Lowe’s. They actually do some good and if you try double masking with them, I don’t think you could last even an hour...

I have taken the train to BWI and it was a convenient way to access the airport. I was coming from Wilmington Delaware and caught a flight to Florida when the Silvers were shut down by a hurricane.

I have driven to Baltimore twice this summer because it is inconvenient, expensive and impossible to get up and back in any reasonable time from Greenville SC. We used to take the always late Crescent before the pandemic cut back in service and amenities ( diner).

AMEN!

Yep!

I have found that using a defogger on glasses is an effective way to combat the fogging up of glasses. You can get it at CVS or Walgreens and I’m sure at Rite Aid. Other that at Drs offices, hospitals etc. we are over with the masks in SC. I’m still waiting for the science on mask wearing...

I grew up in Cincinnati and they used to take the grade schoolers on trips to Union Station. We got complete tours and lectures concerning its operations and history. Of course we all experience the “whispering gallery”! One can talk at one of the droning fountains, while another, clear...

100 pound bags not 200! Clumsy fingers!

You are absolute correct. It’s amazing, actually brings back the old days. During my college days I worked summers at a 7 UP bottling company and at times helped with the mixing which involved toting and holding 200 pound bags of sugar while the “Mixer” controlled the flow of it into the mixing...
