On May 28, 1938, George L. Freestone stood in front of the Milwaukee Railroad ticket window where he had sold tickets for the past 26 years. Mr. Freestone was retiring and being replaced by Glen T. Russell, former baggage agent. The 76-year-old Steilacoom Lake resident had sold railroad tickets for a total of 44 years, the first 18 in Chicago for the Chicago, Western and Indiana Railroad. (T. Times 5/31/1938, p. 2-alt. photograph).
