Reminds me of my experience in summer of 1953. My father and the Pocahontas 
Division Roadmaster had made arrangements for me to work the summer as a 
relief Roadmasters Clerk. After I had passed my physical (needed glasses), 
we learned that a clerk on the Scioto Division who was out of work had 
kicked for the position. He had seniority; I didn't. I ended up working the 
summer on section #1. I was the only new hire that summer.
