   Memories of George Horn!  George was a transit fan and one of the last   
   - if not THE last - operator of the PCC streetcars in both Brooklyn   
   (Church Avenue line, ended 1956) and in San Francisco (regular PCC   
   operation, ended in 1982).  I met him several times at events of the   
   Northern California Railroad Club where we were both active  members.   
   George was the person who gave me the genuine classic Hagstrom   
   "Station Guide BMT Division" map that hangs alongside the desk where   
   this is being written.  It is undated but estimated that it was from   
   the early 1950s at the latest and was the type that hung in the BMT   
   Standards while I lived in Brooklyn.  George had a whole treasure   
   trove of these things - may he rest in peace.   
      
   The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel was a segment of my regular weekday   
   commute from Brooklyn to Paramus, NJ where I worked from mid-1961 to   
   the end of 1962 using the West Side Highway to the GWB until the   
   Trans-Manhattan Expressway connecting the FDR - East River Drive and   
   the GWB was opened in 1962.
