Mountain Dew would ride the rails into Seattle every winter to work at the Seattle Fur Exchange, helping Fur Buyers from around the world check over the yearly crop of Furs. As his Boss I remember Mountain Dew as not only a good worker but always ready to share a story about his years riding the rails. The many RXR pins on Mountain Dew's Hat was proof enough that he really "Had Been Everywhere".

"We rode the Rails and told Tall Tales and made our Stew with Mountain Dew." Rest In Peace Good Friend.
