Show Description

Shep tells about riding on a troop train in the dead of night just after being inducted into the Army. He sits next to a fellow named Dan from New York, each amazed at the others accent. He describes the ride, crossing the Ohio river, seeing solitary lights off in the distance, the occasional ringing of a RR crossing as they pass through. Finally around dawn they arrive at their destination out in the Plains.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
