Posted by BrooklynBus on Thu Nov 19 11:28:38 2015, in response to Re: Dorothy Kilgallen - Atlantic Av/Avenue elevator, posted by Terrapin Station on Wed Nov 18 22:24:15 2015. My posting history here and elsewhere on the Internet is excellent. Sure I make an error from time to time, but so does everyone else including you. And it is also untrue that I doubt most people on the Internet who correct me. Most of the time it is just a difference of opinion and I have no problem with that. I have also caught errors made by others, but I don't go around insulting them unless they are blatant liars.You are asking for evidence for a position I have held 34 years ago. I didn't have any business cards printed up. All I may have is an old buck slip that anyone could just print up on any typewriter because that is exactly what my secretary did. We didn't go to a printer and it wasn't on any letterhead so you wouldn't believe it anyway. I am still I touch with one of my former employees, but he doesn't post here and you wouldn't know the name so you wouldn't beleve him anyway. I didn't keep personal copies of memos I wrote because I never expected to have to prove it to you 34 years later. So what exactly do you expect? You wouldn't recognize the names of any of the people I worked with. I may have mentioned that soon after I got the job my boss stopped the presses of the 1981 Brooklyn Bus map after I found 96 errors and it ended up being printed with only six errors I failed to find and that was after all the official proofreading had been done. One of the errors that I corrected was the Brooklyn Botanic Garden being called the "Brooklyn Botanical Gardens" and being shown where the Prospect Park Zoo is. How embarrassing would that have been for the MTA? Of course there is no proof because I was not given a copy of the map with the errors to keep. Most likely it was destroyed. I was also proud of the fact that I had the bus stop at Brighton Beach moved from a block away to be in front of the escalator the first day of its operation in the first half of 1981. Do you want proof of that also? I remember having one of my employees rewrite a letter to a customer because it was plain insulting and I told him that was not the way to talk to customers. So it is not pretty clear as you put it why I was transferred after six months just because you don't believe the emissions story. Long story short, there is no way I could convince you of anything. If I didn't have a knack for planning I wouldn't have been responsible for the Southwest Brooklyn bus route changes which I do have proof for because I insisted the Department of City Planning produce a report for everyone to see. I personally brought over a copy to a half dozen Brooklyn Public Libraries which were located where the changes were. Today only one copy remains at the main Brooklyn Library at Grand Army Plaza and you can inspect it yourself. So if I didn't have a knack for planning those changes would not have stayed in place for 38 years and when one of them was threatened in 2010 because of budget cuts, the route i partially desiged was reinstated a few years later. As for you, I have spoken to several people who have met you personally who have told me your real personna is nothing like the jerk you project yourself to be on the Internet and that you are really quiet and reserved in person. And other than the nostalgia train, I have only been on two subway/rail fan trips in my life, one on Standards going on the Canarsie line and I do not remember where else, possibly the Rockaways and the trip on the LIRR Bay Ridge division around 1999 in the blazing 98 degree heat. |
