This obituary in the New York Times caught my attention.
Alan F. Kiepper, who led the construction of Atlanta’s rapid transit system, one of the first of its kind in the South, and later took over the New York City transit system at a time when many people were afraid to ride the subway, died on Wednesday in Annapolis, Md., where he lived. He was 81.
My father has been in the transit industry for decades, particularly in the realm of paratransit — transportation for people with disabilities, older folks: those who might struggle to get around. It's a noble pursuit, I think.
