Got my first job from the company that dug the basement for my parents new home . I was there to watch and i guess get in the way . So they started having me get stuff out of the one truck and bring it to them . They were shocked when the one guy said bring me the pipe level when he was placing the first pipe for the sewer line and i went to the truck and found it and took it to him . Started with the company at the ripe old age of 13 , Mowing grass sweeping moping dusting the offices sweeping in the shop . By fifteen i was welding up idler' and rollers and helping the mechanic's work on the equipment and on Saturdays my boss and i were out in the field behind the shop and i was learning how to run equipment, i already knew how to run a crawler as i ran them at my uncles farm as that is what they farmed with back in the fiftys. At sixteen i was a operating engineer with my own company truck .I not only ran the equipment but also did the wrench twisting and welding in the field. Till uncle Sam called . while i was ducking bullets there was a union split and i did not know about it and they only gave two months to transfer your book . That happened during the TET offensive I was a little busy at that time . Came home to find that i could not go back to work with them . So i fell into a job at a Chrysler Plymouth dealership as a mechanic . Back then a JOB was not hard to find as people were calling the house wanting you to come to work for them . You would run into someone new and almost the first words out of there mouth was Ya want a JOB.
