During my many years of living in the local area, two persons stand out as true Trenton "Mass transit" historians: my classmate, John Hoschek and my very dear friend, Leon Buker. Mrs. Buker and son Tom have graciously decided to share the incredible lifetime collection of Trenton Transit memorabilia. I have put together a slide show displaying some of Lee's wonderful collection. Fellow senior citizens and local history buffs, click on this link and go back to your younger years:http://smilebox.com/play/4d7a45774d54677a4d54513d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link

ReplyDeleteHi Tom: I clicked on the link and took a wonderful "ride" on Trenton Transit. We took the transit bus to and from Trenton High and later to Rider. On weekends, I got a transfer to get to Hamilton Ave. and my ballet class. I would come home late at night from Rider and was always safe on the bus and walking home from my stop on W.State Street. What great memories. Thanks so much.
