This guy is a C&NW legend. The older guys knew him and
with so many people retiring I wanted you to have this picture
to post because it's important to remember these guys
whether liked or not. I realize it's not a great picture but
probably the only one around. Taken in Butler I believe,
1983-84. My father had it in his old grip, he worked with
Joe often and really got along well with him.
