"I also would have loved to have worked on the first Rail Roads. "
You wouldn't believe how often I hear that, especially from guys who are in their late 50s and older. It is a remarkably common sentiment. No question about it, those were exciting times. They were also far less complicated days in which to live. We could never repeat something like the Kennecott because it was a direct reflection of a type of society that no longer exists.
