Alex Barber

Alex Barber rides the train every morning, just as he has since he was a sophomore in high school. He rides from near his parents’ house in Sandy to where he catches a bus to Salt Lake Community College in West Valley.

“I like riding the train”, he told me, “It’s a free ride plus I never have to deal with traffic.”

When I met him, Alex was carrying a sketch pad that he told me he uses in class. He’s 18 now and a first-year architecture major.
