Conductor |

 Hi, my name is Pookie! I
have been a conductor for Old Town Trolley Tours for 3 years, and it
is a wonderful job. I have 3 children, all boys. I have a
love for chatting which you will find out when you board my trolley. In
fact, I love it so much don’t be surprised if I go hoarse. It
happens all the time…Just ask my co-workers! Just ask my co-workers! |

Hello, my name is Jack and I am from Savannah,
Georgia. I have been married 34 years this December 2007, to my wife
Trisha, who is an Adoption Consultant for the March of Dimes. My
oldest daughter Stephanie is married and lives in Macon and my younge
daughter, Laurie, is working on her MBA at Mercer University.
My favorite activities and hobbies are college
sports, especially football. I love major league baseball, biking,
swimming, traveling, chilling out at the beach, and rock & roll
(especially the 50’s, 60’s, and early 70’s). I
also love playing with our 7 pets: 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a small parrot
What brought me to Old Town Trolley Tours of Savannah
was my wife saw an advertisement. I had been a docent at Owen-Thomas
House and “went for it”. People always told me that as
a native, I gave great “5 cent tours”, so now it is a “real
job.” |

I
have lived in eight states, two provinces, and three countries. I
have always loved the state and the people of Georgia. When
I got the chance to move to the beautiful city of Savannah, I jumped
at the chance.
I love the deep history of Savannah and the characters
that play out their lives here. I am excited about showing
you the “Jewel of the South”. I am sure you’ll
find it sparkles as well.

From
the first time I came to Savannah as a 13 year old New Jersey native
with my parents, I’ve been intrigued with the city. I moved
here in 1991, working as a sportswriter for the Carolina Morning
News/ Savannah Morning News. I met my wife, Fran, and our
son Paul was born in 1997.
We moved to Colorado, where I worked as a newspaper editor. After
five years, the lure of Savannah – the people and the beach-
proved too great.
I’ve changed careers, anxious to show people why Savannah is
one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and home to this carpet-bagging
Yankee. |

I first saw Savannah on January 1st, 2000. I knew I had found
PARADISE, and I moved heaven and earth to get here permanently. Savannah
has everything that I have always loved – history, architecture,
flora and fauna, a strong arts community and GHOSTS. From the
very beginning, I was fascinated by those beautiful, black Ghost and
Gravestones trolleys with their eye-catching lights. I always
said I wanted to go on a Ghost & Gravestones tour, but little did
I dream that I would be driving one of those wonderful trolleys!
By day, I am the New Editor at CONNECT Savannah, an Arts/Entertainment/News
Publication. But at night, I become Letty Sinclair, Spirit Conductor,
and drive guests around town and tell them ghost stories. I get
paid to do this!
When I am not working, my husband Charlie and I leave our cats at
home (all black cats, of course), and take Willie “The Wonder
Dog” to explore the rest of this beautiful state. I am
so glad to be here!
I feel so blessed to have not one, but two of the best jobs in the
world! Everyone at Old Town Trolley Tours is wonderful, and being
a tour guide and Spirit Conductor is everything I hoped it would be. I
plan to do this for a long, long LOOONG time, so come take my tour. |

After 28 years as a creative in advertising,
a recession, and the cold winters in the Northeast, I set my sights
on South Florida…sunshine, warmth, the palm trees, white sand,
and the blue of the Atlantic Ocean.
Twelve years later, Florida’s growth and the hurricanes of 2004,
pushed my adventure in life to throw the dart further north, Savannah,
Charleston and South Carolina. Three rounds on the Old Town Trolley
Tours, ghosts included, sold me on Savannah. |

Hi,
my name is Irenette, but my friends call me Nette. I have lived
in Savannah all of my life, but I was never so knowledgeable about
the town until I came to work for Old Town Trolley.
I have one teenage son who keeps me busy. Before coming to
Old Town Trolley I held such positions as a head teller at a bank,
a sales rep, a customer service rep, and a school bus driver. Now
I am a conductor. I was never much of a talker, but I guess
now I get to talk all day. |

Hi,
my name is Carol. I was born in Lima, Ohio. I have lived in Savannah
for many years. I raised my son Bruce and my daughter Sissy in Savannah.
They have blessed me with four beautiful grandchildren. I have been
a conductor for three years and I love it!
Everyone has been so pleasant and fun to work with. I can truly say
this is the best job I have ever had. Thanks Old Town Trolley—you
are the best!

Greetings!
My name is Shanel and I am a native of Savannah, Georgia. I
have been residing in Savannah since 2002. I
am a military brat, so I have seen most of the world. I graduated
high school in 29 Palms, California. I have three children and
a husband. I enjoy spending time with the kids and shopping.
What brought me to Old Town Trolley Tours of Savannah was that I am

new people. Other
than that, my good ole buddy “Pookie” brought me here. |

Kenny
- Safety Officer/Trainer |
|
I was born in Spartanburg, SC in 1951. I
am the eldest of 3 children. My primary education was at St.
Joseph Catholic School in Columbia, SC. While I was in high school,
my parents moved to Macon, GA, so I finished high school there. I
then furthered my studies and spent 2 years at Macon Junior College.
A slow economy and the privilege of youth allowed me the opportunity
to relocate to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It was there that I met my
first wife and started a career in sales—first with a potato
chip route and then selling cars. I have a daughter named Sarah,
who is now attending Broward Community College in Ft. Lauderdale.
Because of family, I returned to GA and settled in Savannah. I
continued in Auto Sales for a while, but then moved into the antique
business.
I’ve been with Old Town Trolley now for 11 years, and have really
seen it all! I’ve enjoyed being a Conductor, Safety Officer,
and Training Officer for the best tour company in Savannah! |

Ted - Ghost
Conductor |
|
Hi, I am Ted . I am originally from Atlanta and moved to Savannah
in 1998. I always knew that I would move to Savannah one day,
and I absolutely love it here. I am a retired bus mechanic, so
I of course chose to work at some type of bus or truck company.
So far, I am very happy working here. This job
feels more like a hobby than actual work. I look forward to having
a long relationship with Old Town Trolley Tours. |

Greetings! My name is William “Will”,
and I’m proud to be a Conductor for Old Town Trolley. I
was born and raised in Kansas, but always had a desire to move closer
to the ocean. Having received a BA degree in Philosophy and a Masters
degree in Theology I enjoyed working in a variety of different positions
including administration, teaching, and pastoral work. After 25
years, I decided it was time for a change and decided to move south
near the ocean. Upon my arrival in Savannah in 2004 I immediately
fell in love with it: the Jewel of the Low Country, an old colonial
city bursting with charm was too much for this Kansan to resist!
In a strange but exciting way I’m still sharing my passion
for history, not from a desk or a podium… but as a tour
guide for Historic Tours of America…. WELCOME ABOARD!

Brian
"Mojo" |
|
Hello,
my name is Brian, aka “Mojo”.
I am a West Central Georgia native. I moved to Savannah in the summer
of 2006, and I love every minute of it. I grew up amongst pecan
and peach orchards. My favorite place to eat peaches was the “Peachoseum”,
called “Dickies on the Hilltop”. My aunt and uncle are
peach connoisseurs; growing up we would have our family reunions
there on the orchards.
I majored in Criminal Justice and moved to Savannah with hopes
of obtaining a job in that field, but I found myself in the hospitality
industry, and really enjoy it!
Hope you enjoy your stay! |
