More than 20 years after he retired as Norfolk Southern’s CEO, David Goode still draws a crowd. Goode and his wife, Susan, and an informal host committee held a reunion of NS Thoroughbreds in the Norfolk, Va., area on Oct. 9. More than 100 NS alumni and friends from the Goode era gathered in Virginia Beach, Va.
