Hey boy! Hey George!  The Pullman Porter: A Pullman Porter's story
Johnnie F. Kirvin was born in Dallas, Texas on March 25, 1914.  A southern boy, Kirvin grew up economically poor, but rich in spirit.  Living under the Jim Crow laws of segregation, he learned early to be cautious and alert. During the 1970s he was inspired by his career as a Pullman Porter and felt that he should write a book chronicling his experience. Kirvin has been writing short stories and poems for many years.  Hey boy! Hey George! The Pullman Porter is Kirvin's first published novel at age 95.
