My old man was a worthless drunk and my mother was not much better. She would get people to take us in and then wouldn't pay for our keep. So we had abuse like you wouldn't think possible. So I left home at 13 years old .Walked a few miles down the road to a farmer that offered me 7 dollars a week with bed board and tobacco. Yes I did chew when I could get it. Then I hardly ever got the 7 dollars and then the wife did not want strangers sleeping in the house so I had to sleep in an old car down by the woods. That's how I started. When it got so cold I couldn't sleep in the car, another neighbor took me in and was very good to me. After I got old enough I got my chauffer's license and went to driving truck and then we had to get a class A to drive trailers. and then on to a CDL with all endorsements and I was in the Teamsters Union for 50 years when I retired and I'll tell you something I am retired and live in Fl. and with my Teamsters check and my SSI my income is about 10 dollars less than full pay. So Mr. Hoffa was very good for me. I worked for a nation wide trucking firm and I was never out on strike and I never filed a grievance in my life. Yes I remember being poor and no one gave a hoot about us but I got going and made it by myself. no one gave me any thing. I owned a house in Fl. And one in NY and all paid for. I also never made another car payment after 1980 I drove some rough cars but they were paid for and then I was able to buy new pickups and pay cash. What a feeling. My little brother did good also he retired Kodak. Yes we took care of our mother until she died and we took very good care, A lot more than she did for us on the other end. So now life is good.
