CCC interview

These are parliminary questions for my interview.
I have multiple emails out looking for and interviewy, but I have yet to hear from anyone. I am hoping Tom is able to connect me with someone as well.

How did you get involved in this life?

Did you have a more experienced friend to show you the ropes?

How long did you spend hoping freights, or are you still?

When you talk about riding, how do the majority of people react? Interested? Disapproving? Shocked?

Obviously things have changed since the peak of the “hobo” lifestyle, how do you think the changes have effected your experience?

Have you ever had an encounter with a Bull? How did that go?

Would you say riding changed you? If so how?

Supposable there are a lot more “professionals” such as lawyers and businessmen who have taken to hoping freights, why do you think that is?

Has riding revealed any aspect of American culture that you think most people do not see?

Is there a tight knit community or individualistic thing?

What is your opinion of the romanticized idea’s that surrounds hobos and freights?
