If his goal was to claim you're not a Cyclone, he failed about as hard as you possibly can. The one thing he didn't deny from your username is that you're a Clone.
I've made that mistake before. Had a basketball story go to print explaining how a basketball player in high school took a last second, game winning baseline ****.
Can't wait for the wxman1 blow by blow for tomorrow...
So the family story...which is absolutely true...is that my great-grandpa died when his bakery delivery truck was hit by a train. (This happened back in 1926) My grandpa would have been 11.5 yo. My great-grandma was six months pregnant with my great aunt. The story was always muddied with the railroad gatemen in the tower was asleep, or that there was no one there at all...hence why the gates never came down.
Fast forward to present: Said great aunt passed away last week. While going through some things, my mom or one of her cousins found a newspaper that had been printed the day after the accident, with the top headline being about the accident. My mom went to her hometown library and printed off copies from microfiche and sent me the story. Turns out, there was a city ordinance saying RR crossings needed to be manned 24 hours a day. This railroad only had the crossings manned from 7a - 11p.
The accident happened between 6:40 and 6:45a.
One of my thoughts about the whole thing was that this would be an open & shut multi-million dollar lawsuit against the railroad company.
Just wanted to share because I always found this piece of family history fascinating.

That is an interesting piece of family history. One thing of my famity history that I want to learn more about is my great great grandpa. Google Froelich. I could have been ******* rich and sitting in a posh suite at a golf tournament in Moline this weekend.
