Thread Name: Origins: Casey Jones Anniversary Apr 30
Subject: RE: Origins: Casey Jones Anniversary Apr 30
Yesterday a friend of mine who goes by alkyangel1 posted this snippet to the Yahoo Group "FremontHall", an AA-related group that I moderate. I thought it worth passing on here even though its musical connection is minimal:
   Sunday the 30th ws the 106th anniversary of the train wreck of Casey Jones. Was it a conspiracy? We'll never know. Perhaps the switchman was a secret agent and didn't do his job. Or was it Casey who changed his mind about being a railrod terrorist and decided to hold the train's brake until the bitter end thus saving the lives of the passengers.
    I will not let the conspiracy paranoids or the terrorists run my
life.

I don't know what "CW" means. It's not his real initials. A Google search didn't reveal any previous appearance of this item.
