As I mentioned to Nel, seeing the roses took my back 45 years to when your Dad's Dad raised roses . . . a Miley trademark. Hope you and all the family are finding comfort in the memories, as I did. Mike,

Thanks for the beautiful tribute on You Tube. As I mentioned to Nel, seeing the roses took my back 45 years to when your Dad’s Dad raised roses . . . a Miley trademark. Hope you and all the family are finding comfort in the memories, as I did.

I grew up (7 years younger) on the same block as your Dad. Here is something I left for his sister Nel. Hope it gives you some context on what he meant to me. Nel, Sad, sad news. When I heard my mind went to July, 1969 sitting in Frank's living room in Northbrook . . . watching man's first steps on the moon on TV. Frank, like all of your family, always made me feel welcome in their lives. What a gift and what a loss! This quality of making others feel welcomed is something the world needs more of. Thinking of all the Mileys and wishing you well and comfort as you remember Frank. Godspeed to Frank. Mike,

So I'll say that the hard part about parents is that they carry around the ground under your feet: When they go you are so off-balance, for a long time. Friends and family will hold you up as you get used to the new reality. Good bless.

]]> Comment on CTA to DuPage… kind of like how it used to be by mike http://miley.us/2011/05/19/cta-to-dupage-kind-of-like-how-it-used-to-be/#comment-31 mike Tue, 31 May 2011 12:50:44 +0000 http://miley.us/?p=221#comment-31 Thanks Kirk. I'm working on re-launcing a site all about where trains used to be. When I get that up and running, I'll have the former lines overlaid on a map, but just not sure if it will be google or bing. Regardless, it's the least I can do now that I picked up a reference guide... the 1903 Rand McNally Enlarged Business Atlas which has all of the railroads shown state by state and country by country. So much data! -Mike Thanks Kirk. I’m working on re-launcing a site all about where trains used to be.

Try a Google search for BING MAPS, choose a city to view and place your cursor over the word ROAD on the top toolbar. Select BIRDSEYE from the drop down list. This is a very interesting view that some people do not know about that will help you follow all those old railroad grades, railyards, roundhouse footings etc. from a much better vantage point than Google Earth. Be warned - it's addicting. Good luck, Kirk Brust Hi Mike,
