That's what the Pennsylvania Railroad was familiarly called when Susan was a young lass in Philadelphia. This railroad bridge, photographed on the way to the District of Columbia Good Will Store last weekend is a relic of an earlier age, as there has been no entity called the Pennsylvania Railroad since 1968. A bit of financial history: This corporation still holds the record for the longest continuous dividend history, as it paid out annual dividends to shareholders for more than 100 consecutive years.
Jon and Susan are professors at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. Jon is in the Department of Theatre and Dance. He has lived in Winston-Salem for 25+ years. Susan is in Biology, and has lived in Winston-Salem for 5+ years. Jon's neighborhood is Sherwood Forest; Susan's neighborhood is Ashley Forest. Maurice, who lives in the District of Columbia, serves as occasional capital correspondent.
