Old School Mass Transit

[Just Plain Curt]

Sometimes I come across old shots like this that always make me think back to a kinder gentler time. What ever became of these old beauties? Are they languishing in some salvage yard or have they become the present day Hondas etc.?




Taken with one of mom's old Kodaks. Not sure which one or where, possibly rural Saskatchewan circa 1950's.

Ron:

This was after my discharge from the Shriners Hospital there, where I spent 13 consecutive months and had a series of 8 operations to correct a genital hip defect. In that period, I only saw my parents 3 times, as they did not have a car then. They were not allowed anywhere near me...in fact they could not even come into the hospital, but rather had to stand outside my window or porch to visit...a serious control of not getting infections into the hospital...but tough on a little guy of 6 years old.

That was really tough on a 6 year old. Was there a nasty epedemic around at the time? If not I think the hospital's precautions were somewhat OTT.
