Brad, do you have a pic of the new traffic 52. It was the old air unit from CV's. They nicknamed it "the over the hill gang".
I do have a photo of it as traffic 52.
Would you like a pic of my Dad and old man sanders with the traffic unit? Where were you the other day for the trailer fire?
I am interested in any photos from Shippensburg, I can't see those two directing traffic though. I planned on coming up to ride Wed or Fri since the Chief would be off then. I picked the wrong day and you all worked the job. Now I made other plans for today so you will be busy or catch another job. Last week I just got on the Interstate when you caught the 52 job and I watched the smoke for miles. I have no luck, but things are looking up as of today I have 5 years and one month until retirement.
So when you retire in five years and 1 month, does that mean you are coming back to Shippensburg to be the Boro Chief/regional Chief?
