Where am I from? Born in a village outside Busan, Republic of Korea in late 1976 and adopted in 1977. Lived temporarily in orphanages in Busan and Seoul. Lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee from 1978 to 1985 and then moved to Lookout Mountain, Tennessee and lived there from 1985 until 1999. Moved back to Chattanooga and was there from 1999 until 2004 when I moved to Oro Valley, Arizona. Hottest place I've ever been was the cab of an operating steam locomotive in Chattanooga, Tennessee. When I lived there, I spent ten years working on the Tennessee Valley Railroad-a working museum short line that operated passenger trains working late steam and early diesel electric locomotives. In the late summer, temperatures in the cabs of the steam locomotives would exceed 130 degrees. Not fun, especially when the train was standing for any amount of time. Not much better in the coaches either, as the local trains only carried one air conditioned coach-the other two were open window cars. They were okay except when passing through the tunnel-coal smoke is nasty. Didn't particularly enjoy coming home each day smelling of coal smoke and dust. | |||

A warm welcome to the forums, Alan! ![]() Very nice to see new blood here, this place has been awfully quiet for the last few months, so any livening up is for the better. |
