The Train Ride from PA to Miami
I came across this in my journals. My mom said that this actually happened. I have a vivid scene in my mind of being on a train, on my mother’s lap. She was wearing a taupe-colored suit and a little hat. I was a very young infant of perhaps weeks old. My mother spoke to the conductor, asking him to warm my bottle. He was warm and friendly, a black male of 50ish, graying at the temples. He wore a 40’s uniform, lots of brass buttons and a round hat with a shiny bill. I Googled the uniform, wow, it is perfect. She handed him a bottle and asked if he could warm it. Sure, he said without a thought and soon he returned with the bottle in his hand. I had never seen a baby bottle like that before. The nipple was all rubber and slipped onto the bottle.
