since I was born in 1939, I do not have any stories but did pick up a book on Hobo signs made into quilt blocks the other day and would like to make a quilt or wallhanging of the blocks. One story I can tell you, my father went to apply for job as bus driver (in Washington D C) there were 2 openings and 300 men showed up for the job. He got one of the positions and worked for the transit company for over 20 years, taking out time to serve in Army during WWII. Take care.
