"One beautiful night after Clemson had defeated its opponent in football, George Williams, Assistant Vice President and Treasurer of Southern Railway, and Reet and Tee Senn were talking about Clemson and the Class of '39. Mrs. Senn commented about the Horticultural Gardens and the Senns' ambition to make this a place that Clemson would be proud of. She remarked to George Williams, 'Why don't you give us a little red caboose?' Some months later, George called Mrs. Senn and said, 'I have your caboose. What are you goign to do with it?' Mrs. Senn remarked, 'I think it would make a beautiful addition to the Horticultural Gardens and I know it would make Tee proud.'"
