Feb. 3, 1995.? I remember it well on the CVR.? It was all downhill from there for 3 1/2 years until they fired us for union organizing.? Happily, I made more than triple the money on the D&H, worked for and with better people and got a better house in a nicer town.? And there is still a union on the NECR..
