TAFF - pg 48 Friday, April 22, 1960 I telephoned a taxi and said for them to meet me at the Gray's at 12:30 to take me to the train station. I rode the bus into the Gray's and Bobbie wanted to fix lunch for me before I left for the train. Bill had some snapshots back of the con and told me to take what I wanted. I picked out some for myself that would make nice souvenirs of my trip and wanted to pay him for them, but no. Noth- ing doing. Typical of the hospitality all during my trip. It made me afraid to say I liked anything, for fear they'd insist I take it. The morning passed too briefly and soon the taxi was at hand. I got my ticket and was on the platform watching them tear up the rails. When Eric arrived, on his lunch hour, I remarked that it looked like they were making sure I didn't come back. On the train there were two other passengers in the compartment with me. At first only an elderly woman and then later on a Chinese. The woman was an Estatex Agent and the Chinese was from Hong Kong and traveled about the British Isles in bis business which had something to do with Chinese Restaurants. I'd always heard so much about the typical British reserve, but never did find it anywhere on my entire trip. Once I'd broken the ice with this woman she talked the entire 4 hour trip to Liverpool. After I'd engaged the Chinese in conversation, she would feel it proper to talk to him and we carried on a three way conversation that was interesting and also made the time pass much quicker. At Lime Street Station, Norman Shorrock and Jone Roles were on hand to greet me. It was rush hour and we took busses and ferry boat rides until we reached number 2 Arnot Way. On the Ferry I saw the funniest sight of my entire trip. On the top deck the office workers were marching around in a circle, counter-clockwise. This, they did twice a day and was their constitutional. They did it solemn faced and with great dignity. I had the urge to start march- ing in a clockwise rotation and see what would happen, but spent the time in photographing the port of Liverpool instead. When I got back to Cincinnati, I went to American Express and told the man who'd taken care of me what a nice time I'd had and how every- thing worked out ok. He was from England, which I knew, and asked me where I'd gone. When I mentioned Liverpool, he said he used to live in Liverpool and asked me if I'd ridden the Ferry boat. He had a smile on his face when he said it and I said yes, and I saw the funniest sight of my life. At this he laughed out loud and said he used to be one of those marchers on the top deck, too. I told him of my suppressed desire to walk in the opposite direction and had since then wondered what would have happened. He said very pro- bably I would have been branded a counter-revolutionary and attempts would have been made to toss me overboard. Ina then introduced the Shorrock offspring, Janet, Roy and Linda. they immediately called me "Uncle Don". To me dogs, cats and small children are a pain. Very seldom are any of the three categories
