Posted by bklynsubwaybob on Sat Nov 14 16:23:26 2009, in response to Re: Some questions about the L, posted by f179dj on Tue Nov 10 17:30:03 2009. There was a Disp. at Brighton Beach on the PMs. I think his name was Frank Askins. He was a strange fellow but I knew how to play the game and get on his good side. I was rewarded by not having to do any layups as long as I listened to his stories. Wasn't a bad trade off.Do you remember Henry Austin on the F Line? He was on the busses too but got called back before me. Made Dispatcher. Nice guy. Died of cancer not long after being promoted. What a shame. Do you remember Jimmy Faison? He was my M/M when I worked the F out of Stillwell on the weekends. That had to be around 1974. I don't know what happened to him but when I returned from the busses he seemed to be a changed person (personality). When I was a C/R he was always personable and joked around and was also quite informative of the written and unwritten rules of the road. When I saw him later on he seemed to be withdrawn and solemn. Never did find out why. Take care. |
