Steve
Bulota is a native of South Bend, Indiana and yes, he bleeds for
Notre Dame. His grandfather taught there. He rode on the New
York subway for the first time in July of 1965 while on vacation. His
family moved to New Jersey when he was 10, and it was there that he
became immersed in the New York City subway system. My parents say he
forgave them for moving when we started going to New York on a regular
basis.) At 16, they moved once again to Connecticut, where he
finished high school and enrolled at UConn. (Go Huskies!)
His folks came out to Colorado in 1978 when his father took early
retirement from Uniroyal and put in another 9 years at Gates.
Steve moved out here in September of 1980 after finishing college
(graduating on the very same day that Mount St. Helens blew up) and
after subbing in several school districts, he went back to night school
and got Associates in Electronics Technology. Steve now works in
Boulder, Colorado as a customer support technician for a mass flowmeter
manufacturer.
Once a year every fall, he takes a trip back east to my alma mater
for Homecoming and always stays in New York for a few days for some
serious railfanning. |

Mary Donch
A native of Long Island City and the Flushing Line, I hired out as a
Senior Girl Scout Service Aide and high school intern in the Transit
Museum back in the summer of 1976. I've been an NYCTA Conductor (second
female, youngest in the System), Motorman, and Train Dispatcher. I went
to Metro-North as a Conductor in 1989, and have been a Locomotive
Engineer there since 1993. I won the International Rail Rodeo in 1995,
and thanks to that I was a Communications Controller for MARTA during
the Summer Olympics. I'm still a Girl Scout, and have developed programs
on railroading for older Girl Scouts and am the President of the
Metro-North Trefoil Guild. The railroading helps pay for the
sewing/embroidery machine that I can't take as a dependent on my taxes,
even if I do have to feed it and take care of it ! |

Bob Vogel, better known as Chu Chu Bob, acquired a love of
trains from his Dad putting up a Lionel set every Christmas, and by
playing on and near the PRR passenger track between Haddonfield and
Philadelphia, where Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Line passenger trains
ran frequently, pulled by PRR or Reading steam engines Bob’s fascination
with subways came from riding the Delaware River Bridge Commission
trains into Philadelphia from Camden as a young child. The Bridge
Train route is now part of PATCO.
Bob has an AB (that's Latin for BA) in Science from Rutgers
University - Camden and has worked as a research chemist for the same
