From then until retire- ment he had worked from Cart- ier to Schreiber, serving many years operating in the small umerous stations along the line until he came to Schreiber Oct. 7, 1942, as a despatcher. He had, however. a strange break in his operating career when from 1939-40 he worked as trainman, gaining firsthand knowledge of how trains are put over the road. Mr. Howard's nickname "'By- low" came from a small sister who could not master his even stranger first name of Havilah.

Noonan was Lost Back North. Both are now retired. For Mr. Howard it was Holy. Holy, Holy. The evening was filled with recollectons of earlier days, lean and busy years and former comrades.
