Old Time Drivers


My co-host, Tom has been rather busy, his mother who is 93 as been in the hospital. Of course he goes to see her daily. I have met her a few times and she is a very nice lady.

The United Cab driver to the left is Sampson, I think I have known him for all of the time that I drove for United, maybe ten years or so. You will notice I said cab driver, he is not someone who drives a cab. A huge difference.

I think it was in 1999 or 2000 that Sampson and another driver, Sam, who works at the airport now, took me to lunch for my birthday. There was also a driver named Don that went with us. Don quit a long time ago and went to Ohio. No one had ever done that for me and haven't done so since. Sampson bought a cake and everything. I am having a brain lock but that happens when you get to be 66, can't remember sh&&. The resturant was on the corner of Cleveland and Arminia. Those were the days when gas was under 2.00 and you could afford to take time off during the day for lunch. Sampson is a very talented person, speaks a bunch of languages, writes music and is just a all around nice person.

I know it is still slow out there so if you take a cab anywhere be sure to remember your driver, he is getting you where you want to go in a safe manner.
