	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 ! Mary is the Metro North Reporter for the site
