This is a story of two boys who meet on a train trip across America
in the 1960's. The characters are fictional, but at least one of them was
real, I'll let you decide which one. For many of us train travel in those
days was more luxurious than a seat on any aircraft, a level of service
beyond anything you might find today.
Today's rush to live leaves out the view and the interpersonal
relationships one might find even on a fast moving train. For a boy it
seemed like a great adventure, a romantic journey on the rails towards an
uncertain future. Come back with me to that time, for the trip is but a
moment you may enjoy and then your life goes back to normal, or does it? Chris James
