Labor Day 2009 & Engine 1

Niilo joined the throngs of workers out enjoying the day at Pioneers Park for Labor Day. He, Heather, and Rob were joined at the picnic table by Will & Joyce, Nancy & Ryan, and enjoyed differing amounts of conversation with numerous others, including 100+ yr-old Engine 1 conductor Dan and fellow Friend Lea Ann. He was again given VIP treatment on the train, and by various veteran union supporters who appreciated his support over the years.
Dad also obviously enjoyed a guitar player in the park, and the steamboat Nenana dioramas, and the ice cream cone.
Returning to the Pioneers Home, he was cheerfully greeted by aide Ron, who calls him his Democrat buddy.
