Alex Schust Letter

[NW Mailing List]

     Opening up the new Issue 4 of "The Arrow" and reading Alex Schust's 
letter to the editor (pg.2), I feel compelled to strongly disagree with 
Mr. Schust's concerns about Mr. Hensley's article in "From the Archives" 
back in Issue 3. Maybe Mr. Schust is forgetting what the old N&W 
Magazine used to be. Back before social media was what it is today, 
there was in the  back of the N&W Magazine a section called "Folks Along 
The Line". In this section people from each department or Division 
talked about interesting things that happened to them over the course of 
the year. People describing their vacations, trips to see family, 
children's births, family deaths, etc. This was one of the few ways 
company people could interact with one another.
     I find no difference in Mr. Hensley's account of a part of his 
young life and finding a photo of himself than I do reading about what 
was going on way back when. If you go back through the issues of the N&W 
Mag. and read about "The Folks Along The Line", I think that you too 
will find some of the stories told can be quite interesting!
