November and December 2012, Apache Junction, AZ
Business on the Dolly Steamboat has been slow and Rex has not been scheduled to work in November so he has partnered with Charlie, a handyman in our park. He is keeping busy washing the outside of park models, doing repairs, building steps and other handyman stuff. He is enjoying the work and getting to know a lot more of the park residents. Tom, a friend of ours, opened the Desert Dwellers Express this summer and asked Rex to work with him as a conductor during the winter.
