JACK DRISCOL
Boss of a Buffalo grain scooping gang, railroad man and elevator worker
"The scoopers were at the whim of everybody."
A railroad man at age 17 who would soon become the “boss” of a grain scooping “gang” in 1962, Jack Driscol toiled on Buffalo’s waterfront his whole working life. Jack shared memories of scooping grain deep down in the hold of a ship, of working with equipment that stayed the same since his dad's time as a scooper, and about what being the boss of a scooping gang was really like.
