Our family had the privilege of being part of the welcoming party for eight-year-old Conductor Jonathan Dockins when he arrived at the Reno Amtrak Station yesterday, June 20, 2014.
Hubby found out about it two days before and got right to work to help make Conductor Jon Jon’s day even better. He worked with our state governor’s office to get a proclamation and Jon Jon’s big day to be in his honor in the state of Nevada. You can see a copy of the official proclamation by Governor Brian Sandoval here.
He also got some great goodies from his work place, Union Pacific Railroad, and from the Western Pacific Railroad Museum, where we are members and volunteer regularly.
It was an amazing experience! We thoroughly enjoyed being involved with even just the little part that we were privileged to a part of.
If you want to know more about Jonathan’s story and his dream to drive a train through the Donner Pass, you can read more about it here.
