Not very far from here, working on the Northern Pacific at 19, my section foreman, working out of DeSmet, left me on a track spur leading to a paper/pulp plant. I remember driving over 100 fence posts in 2 1/2 feet of snow. At noon, while eating lunch with the crew, we heard on a radio that President Kennedy was killed. That was a sad day, but it was my first day working at DeSmet.
