I live near Pittsburgh, PA. Worked in auto body work for many years. finally had to get out of that, since the many hours of the paint fumes finally got to me! Retired at age 72! On New Years Eve! Almost eleven years now! Sat down for a couple weeks--decided that would make me fat and stupid, so tried making crafts! Stupid idea--made $25 for 3 weeks work! Humph! So, being that i had mechanical experience, i went into lawn mower repairs! Found some throw-aways sitting with the garbage cans on collection nights, so took them home, repaired them, sold them, and made as much from that as i made at my last job! A WW II vet, 78th. and 90th. Infantry divisions, lost my left foot from an anti-personnel mine, a lot of my teeth, the tip of my right index finger, and earned the free boat ride home! After discharge, held a lot of jobs, didn't let my injury hold me back! First job was janitor for the Borough of West view! First motorcycle, a 1936 Indian! Last job in auto body shop!
