My dad Robert (Bob) Holland worked as a machinist in Monett most of his life and also worked in Tulsa and Fort Smith. My grandfather Thomas P Holland (my namesake) was an engineer. Also had some uncles that worked for Frisco. Thanks, Tom
Welcome Aboard, Tom! My father-in-law, Harold Arnold was an RPO clerk on the Frisco out of Monett until the mail service left the rails. My sister-in-law was Sandra, and wife is Elise.
My grandfather was a boiler maker in Monett and Springfield. Most likely our fore fathers ran into each other.
