On December 20, his daughter,
Ida Marie Myers, carried on the
family tradition by signing on with
the railroad as a telegrapher.
Fox says he has no definite plans
for the future, and mentioned a

cupy his future time.

telegraphy. When he first came to
work, the old key and sounder rat
tled into his .ear, and the tele
grapher was looked on as man
speaking a sort of a foreign lan
guage. While he was with the SP,
the old sounders were first dis
placed by the telephone, and now,
by the teletype printers.
"We used to have 10 men In a
ML. I'm. . ... ljjitll ! Li J

He was also known to passen
gers on the crack overnight Cas
cade, which he would handle on its
southbound dash from Portland to
Klamath Falls.
A Portland resident, he plans to
"work on my garden" and in
