Hello, I thought I would start a discussion on how many had a father, grandfather, relative, etc., who was a "delivery person" in Greater Boston in the 1900 to 1940 timeframe. Both my husband and I had grandfathers who were "teamsters." I have an old photo of my grandfather sitting in a truck from probably 1920's or 1930's. The sign on the truck says: "F. KNIGHT & SON, CORP." My husband's grandfather worked for a company in Central Square, Cambridge, where he drove a team of horses pulling a wagon - for delivering. And he was in charge of taking care of the horses in the stable. I had 3 sets of grandparents growing up - because of an early divorce in 1935. My step-grandfather who was a "Grampy" to us was also a truck driver in and out of Boston. And, as I've mentioned before, my great-uncle at Age 9 was hit by a truck when he was playing on a street in Winchester Center. It was Dec. 1916 and it was a 5-ton truck which hit the small boy. He was very nearly killed and no one knew why he survived. The truck driver had to go to court because of the accident. Betty (near Lowell, MA)
