Walt---
 
Sounds like something that Pete Hoover would have said...........Pete  worked 
Meadville to Kent on passenger in the 60's to the end, then  retired.  He 
started when the Erie was running westbounds via the B&LE  from French Creek (FC) 
to Shenango (XN).
 
As far as your mention of the glass doors and JPS-----
 
I was only in the 5th floor DS once or twice.  When I hired out, they  had 
moved to the 6th floor, believe that happened in about 1963 when UK  Salamanca 
moved to YO.  I could hear JPS scream now---in that High C voice  of 
his........  As information, John finally got married when he  was about 65 years old 
and moved to Meadville.  He lived in a nice  home on Rt 322 at the top of the 
hill just west of I-79, between the cemetery  and the Meadville Mall.  John 
passed away only a few years ago.  A  real good guy to work for.
