Stan enjoyed calling his transient life of riding the rails pedestrian. That a seemingly dirt-poor, nomad had a GRE vocabulary, and a finely honed sense of irony, was irreconcilable for many people he met.
He often tagged trains he frequented with a modern version of hobo hieroglyphics from the turn of the 20th century. Stan’s moveable art guided fellow travelers to safe food, shelter and work. Ofttimes it functioned as a treasure map to cash and clothing he hid inside rail cars.
Most men of his vast financial means are expected to travel extensively, but in luxury not in austerity.


Mmmmm… make me wonder… 😉
