Re: Body Stamping Historian
Thank you for sharing; 52 years old.... that's ...uh... pretty young to be retired.
Your experience(s) as far as working and then getting layed off parallels what was happening up here in Flint and Metro Detroit at that time. Historically a person could plan on graduating from high school and hiring in "the shop" and working the next 30 years without drama. Not so much by the time you and I came along. K

We had one Millwright work 59 years and he was a model employee. When he told me he was leaving I said, "Don, why don't you stay another year and make it an even 60 years." He replied, "Oh no Randy... that is just entirely to long to be working." |

Re: Body Stamping Historian
Shucks... nothing wrong with that. Work is honorable, retirement can be also.
Did you know Antonio Stradivari was making his famous Stradivarius Violins in Cremona Italy until he was 95 (croaked)? If a guy wants to "fiddle around" go for it. |
