TI: So let's move on. So do you remember getting off the ship or any time during that period from the ship to Crystal City?

GN: I don't remember getting off, but I remember when we got on the train going to Crystal City, inside the train. I remember the conductor was very nice, he gave us candy, and I still remember what kind it was, it was a Butterfinger.

TI: Wow.

GN: Yeah. And that's the first time I had an American candy.

TI: And was the wrapper on it and that's how you remember it was Butterfinger, or you just know what a Butterfinger looks like?

GN: Yeah, the wrapper and the taste.

TI: It's interesting what people remember, huh?

GN: Yeah, certain things, right? But the Butterfinger really was delicious, it was good. [Laughs]

TI: And this was the, you said the train conductor?

GN: Yeah, the conductor, it was a conductor at that time.

TI: So one of those guys with the little caps that would walk through?

GN: Yeah.

TI: Do you recall who else was on the train besides your family?

GN: No, not at all.

TI: But this gentleman was really nice.

GN: Yes.

TI: Keep going, so what else do you remember? Do you remember anything else on this trip?

GN: No, not until we got to Crystal City.
