Thanks "G"....I always wondered that myself......my dad retired from South Central Bell in Jackson after 43 years of service.....at the time of his death he was the oldest living member of the "Telephone Pioneers of America" in Mississippi...I have his forty years of service pen with 8 diamonds that I cherish.....

Thanks Randy, and yes.........wife and I worked for Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe, Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, and she retired with 36 years.........then I retired from the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe after 30 years. She worked Clerical Administrative and I worked as Telegrapher-Train Order Operator and heavy equipment operator on track and
off track.

Interesting thread reading what everybody does and did for a living.
