This weekend, we celebrated my dad’s (J.B. Woods) retirement from Kansas City Southern Railroad with a fish dinner at Mike Anderson’s Restaurant in Gonzales, La. His last official day will be Feb. 27. I hope he enjoys retirement as much as he has enjoyed his long career with the railroad.
See one of the group photos from the retirement event in the February 4, 2015 edition of The Webster Progress Times at http://websterprogresstimes.com/2015/02/04/retiring-from-kcs/.
Jerald is a hard worker. He only missed a few days in 45 years of work. He had the flu one time, but he worked with the flu because at that time people were being laid off and he didn’t want to chance loosing his job.
