What's the
difference between a hobo and a bum? What's the best way to
find food if you have no money and you are traveling the rails?
How many songs have been written about railroads? What is
located on the 3rd floor of the Huntsville Historic Depot?
Where was the Buffalo soldier encampment when they were in Huntsville
in 1897? Who or what saved Huntsville from being destroyed
during the occupation of 1862?
There
are 32 OLLI members who can answer most of these questions after
their day in Huntsville on November 1st hosted by the Special Events
Committee. The day was perfect; the weather 73 degrees, the
food Hobo stew, the venue Huntsville Historic Depot, the presenters
Historian Jacque Reeves, the Depot staff led by Janice
Phillips, the music by Gabe and Shirley, the OLLI hobos Richard
Kramer and Dick Gilbert. What a day to be just bumming around!
