Louisville was kind to their drivers. I was treated very, very well there. They closed it and took it all to Regional at Cincinnati. They offered me and all the drivers to come up there, but my family didn't want to move. Best job I ever had. I still see the trucks and smile. I feel sorry for the drivers, though. They are running my old routes out of Cincy and can't make it back home before running out of hours. I was home almost every night. I still look at it fondly and still feel nostalgic when I see a Clifford truck on the road.The Legendary Randymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13996804819779267146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457480930454799813.post-81804694242187749302011-12-10T18:47:55.215-08:002011-12-10T18:47:55.215-08:00Thank you both for your comments.

I actually did want to be a librarian, but they were all getting laid off.<br /><br />I'll just remember the good tines: All the good books and good friends I made. And I did connect children with books. Ah, it was a dream job....Juliann Wetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344339073916326002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457480930454799813.post-75717734900592823932011-12-10T10:39:09.410-08:002011-12-10T10:39:09.410-08:00Sigh...

It's a shame to hear about the bad stuff, especially when I see what a strong pull the good stuff was for you, how much of a passion you carry for books and matching readers to them. Makes me want to tell you to quit your job and be a librarian yourself, or open an independent bookstore or something. (But I'm not actually advising that!!)<br /><br />Anyway. Thanks for sharing your memories, bittersweet though they may be.Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771013578685419826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457480930454799813.post-78166960396440737162011-12-10T06:50:47.842-08:002011-12-10T06:50:47.842-08:00Juliann, what a powerful story.

I LOVE books and libraries and schools, etc. It's also sad to actually come to the conclusion that You Can't Go Back...in so many ways.BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.com
