Thaine Allison
The Democratic National Convention ends today, but not without a few comparisons made between Barack Obama and John F. Kennedy.
Thaine Allison remembers the DNC when John F. Kennedy was the star. It was the summer of 1960. Thaine was 21 and working on freight trains. He was one of a small group of train operators standing near the tracks when Kennedy's train had to make an unexpected stop. The impromptu meeting with JFK was life-altering for Thaine.
