    Does William Weatherstone known as the Diesel Gypsy from Canada is fotographed in any of these pics? i read his story in 2005 and thats what inspired me to be a trucker.

    Not that I'm aware of and I personally know the majority of the people in the pics. Ron and I worked on pipeline together and I used to dispatch him at one time.

    Prairie Boy-
    Great pictures! One in particular about stretching the "B" for Alaska reminds me of when I was with Lynden in the 70's we used to stop at 1202 almost across from Farwest Texaco (as I recall) to pin a third axle under the trailer so we could gross 84K in Alaska-it was run by Frenchman-really knew his stuff-can you remember his name? I thought I would never forget it.
