when i was a kid we had a "gang". not the kind we have today, it was just three or four of us pals that hung together all the time. we would make money several ways. one of them was during haying season we'd find out who was haying and go there to see if we could get "hired on" a few of the farmers would hire us to pick up and stack bales on the wagon. it would take four of us...two to a bale, we were pretty small. two on the ground loading, two on the wagon stacking. it made us feel "grown up" having a job.
we especially liked working for one farmer who at the end of the day would give us each fifty cents and a 16 oz. bottle of RC Cola. we would "sneak" off with the bottles and turn them in for deposit which made our daily take 52 cents! later, i worked for the grade school janitor, after school and in the summers. then when i got in high school, i had a job as a stockboy in the five and dime in town, made pizzas for a while, and then got my best job of all i've ever had....i worked in a SERVICE station, ed nowak's texico. not a gas station like today. i pumped gas, checked oil, cleaned the windshield, fixed flat tires, changed oil, and we even washed cars there. i loved that job and ed and his wife hilda, may they rest in peace. -mike
