Saint Eligius

590-660

Feast Day: December 1

Patronage: goldsmiths, metalworkers, ironworkers, blacksmiths, mechanics, locksmiths, taxi drivers, horses

Saint Eligius was born in France and became a skilled metalsmith. His fame spread and he was appointed “master of the mint” by King ClotaireII for his honesty and skill. With the wealth he acquired, Eligius ransomed slaves, built churches and monasteries and was generous to the poor. After serving in the French court to Clotaire’s son, Eligius became a priest in 640 and eventually a bishop and preached throughout France and Belgium, converting many. He used his talents and wealth for society and the people. He was widely venerated during the middle ages.

Kelly Dessaint on the "Drinks with Tony" Podcast

I was a guest on Tony DuShane’s eponymous podcast/radio show, Drinks with Tony. We discuss the craft writing, how I ended up driving a taxi, my experiences with Lyft and Uber, how I landed a gig writing a column for the S.F. Examiner, the pandemic and how a little bit of success can lead to a whole lot of despair. I think. We talked for a while, and I kinda hoping he edited a bunch of stuff…

Memorial Ceremony for a Cabbie

Reese Lawhon was killed on the job on April 9th, 2023. In Portland it's customary to memorialize our drivers with a ceremony and a Taxi Cab Procession through the streets of Portland.

Reese was an artist and a musician who made his living by driving cab. In so many ways he epitomized with due grace, the artist who strives for his work while making a living in a Taxi.

Reese was one of us.
